This is a problem. I want a desktop, not a job with "feeling good" salary.
Thanks a lot for your kind words :)
There's nothing there. Did you setup shop on Antarctica? No? That's because there's nothing there. Same with Mars.

Go for the knowledge, but as far as ordinary human things are concerned there is no reason to go.

Until you can make an economic case for settling the poles you won't be able to make one for Mars - and the poles are LOT easier to live on BTW.

We have a base on the poles for the same reason we'll have one on Mars.
The big problem of MBTI is the axes aren't well aligned with supportable dimensions of personality, though they have some correlation with them. Models like EPQ (3 factors), Big Five (5 factors), and HEXACO (6 factors) have better methodology behind them (though each still has strengths and weaknesses).

MBTI is a just-so story with a lot of marketing behind it.
I like it. Why and how did you build it?
To be fair as time goes on we're going to have collisions more and more to the point where I think we'll either stop caring about collisions or we'll stop caring about creating abbreviations / acronyms. I'm hoping for the latter :)
For people to choose something it first have to be a realistic option. Berlin is much more established as an international and "tech" city. You hear about people moving there all the time. For whatever problem you'll face there's bound to be someone else who has done it. When it comes to moving you don't want to be a pioneer and spend thousands of euros finding out if it's doable and ending up not liking it. Being in the same boat as other people helps with that uncertainty.
I think this is only true when you look at political speech (where the sacred phrase "founding fathers" can justify most things)

But ultimately at this point the US is culturally on a completely different level compared to backward nationalist countries like Russia. Maybe you're not familiar with American education, but a good portion of what we learn at a young age is actually national self criticism. In my personal experience I'd estimate almost half of my history education up to high school was on

- the terrible things we did to the Native Americas

- the terrible things we did to Slaves

- the terrible way we oppressed African Americans

Even when we learn about the founding fathers, time is always take out to point out the hypocrisies that happened at the time. I think the fact that a bunch of intelligent men were able to found a national structure that has lasted this long and has managed to regulate itself away from tyranny is truly magical and a great historical achievement. The more I learn about it, the more improbably it all seems - there were so many chances for it to go wrong. What are they on in France, their fifth republic? Or is it their 6th?

> Even if Mars worked, it would be terrible for the Earth because it would give the first real nuclear asylum.

And it would be good for earth at the same time for the same reasons. I would consider it a good thing because of redundancy of life and humanity.

> Who knows what they'd do

Probably not something that they haven't already planned. Just look at Iraq, Libya and Syria and see what the US have done to those places.

> Should it work, it can greatly hurt the human race

But it could also open up a whole new world of adventure, exploration, innovation and conquest - something many humans still strive for.
This is a very good step in the right direction.

It still doesn't solve the biggest problem the node.js and javascript ecosystem has IMHO: dependency hell, thousands of trivial packages, just utter chaos.
Well, since we know that 50% of people score different types upon retaking the test, that should be enough to identify the prevalence of these problem.

As for signal-to-noise, mbti is a useful tool for measuring the traits it measures, it just, for some reason, cuts the signal in half by removing the percentage from the label.

Without the percentages, you can never assume a persons traits don't hover at that middle ground. And thus, can never assume any part of their label is accurate.

If the occurrence of these hover cases were more like <4%, I'd be more inclined to agree with its usefulness, but as it is right now, the 4bit label, on its own, is just noise.
Am I the only one who gets the joke?
In the defense of fatigue and how to overcome it
Actually, IIRC someone had discovered a debug command, "repeat" or something like that. So people would just tell it to repeat offensive sentences.
So this is not a Hadoop thing?
The requirements for spaceflight are not so rigorous anymore. There have already been paying passengers (who were non-astronauts) on Russian space vehicles. Much like with a commercial airliner, the pilot has to know what they are doing, and the rest of the people have to know how to sit down and buckle-up. The current issue seems to be that because it is so expensive to send people up, they only send up the very best they can train.
Serious? I honestly can't tell.

Do you think the only thing stopping leaders from killing billions is the fact they might also die or be otherwise affected?
He's responsible for what he says. But you're also responsible for what you understand.
This has been my feeling about Twitter for years. There's plenty of value in news, especially real-time news, that Twitter isn't exploiting. I honestly believe that for Twitter to survive, it needs to make news and real-time discussion of news and events its single biggest priority.

I don't say that lightly either. I've invested in Twitter in more ways that one. I've got shares in Twitter, but that's a tiny part of what I've invested in Twitter: I did a PhD on real-time detection and tracking of breaking news on social media (Twitter), and started a company that uses Twitter to detect breaking news [1] before it it hits mainstream media.

"SMARTNEWS"

"The Myers-Briggs Personality Test Is Pretty Much Meaningless"

promises explosive insights such as:

"[...] and statistical analysis reveals even data produced by the test shows a normal distribution rather than bimodal, refuting the either/or claims of the MBTI."

It is really surprising that aggregation of a number of binary questions results produces a normal distribution. In all my experiments with a randomly selected coin from my purse I got something close to bimodal - not.

MBTI may be flawed, overused and too simplistic. However simplifying statistical arguments down to that level is not the way to advance science.
> This is a ridiculous point to waffle on: pet cats should no more be allowed to roam around at will than should pet dogs, horses, pythons, or pot-bellied pigs.

Actually, my Dad grew up on a mountain where, every day after school, he would come home and gather up the pig and cows that had been let free to eat for the day. So there's certainly use cases for letting a pig roam free and gather some forage. By the time I was growing up we had chickens, which had to be brought in at night to prevent predators from eating them, but otherwise could roam the yard to eat worms and the like.

Also a horse that kept the grass in the yard short without us having to mow it. There were goats, but they weren't allowed free mostly because they went and ate mountain laurel and poisoned themselves.

It's kind of strange to take a working animal like a cat, bred for pest control, and stick in a little indoor room and never let them out. Did farmers originally lock up their barn cats in the barns? I don't think so. It's actually a problem when they accidentally get locked up in a shed or a car or something, because they aren't out doing their jobs.

Seems nuts to me that the author belittles letting them outside.
The test measures a scale. Reporting the result as binary is indeed extremely misleading.
its a wordplay + bias by mainstream media.

expats = migrants from the 'elite' class. educated, wealthy, well-connected etc. most often referred to persons from so called '1st/2nd world' countries.

immigrants = migrants from the 'cattle' class. not-so-rich, varied education, mostly non-caucasians.
most often referred to persons from so called '3rd world' countries.
How I lost $2.5M
It's not about just what the user can do with a replaceable battery, it's about how much easier it becomes for the company to replace batteries in the field (and backplate, if too thin): just ship new batteries and have user come and immediately leave with a "fixed" phone. (Of course, if your new battery is also broken, then nothing really can help.)

And — do correct me if I'm wrong — but removable batteries don't add thickness, only length.
Please don't use this language. Your suggested quote implies the null hypothesis has been confirmed. In fact, the null hypothesis has simply not been rejected.

If I was NPM Inc I would think about adopting yarn if possible.
I've been following space news since I was a kid in the 70s, and now I'm to the point where I find these repetitions of "Mars in ~25 years" to be more pathetically sad than anything else.

Maybe Musk and SpaceX will succeed, maybe not. But either way, he's not playing the same tired tune I've heard my entire life.
I think the article is a very good explanation of the application of Bayes theorem to p-values.

My only issue with this kind of calculations is that their assumptions dramatically changes the results. He says that 10% of the drug tests are going to be effective. This might apply to an specific area, but not to others. Here is a Nature publication that changes the most important parameters, power and % of programs/drugs/tests that trully have an impact http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v10/n12/full/nmeth.2738.....

If you assume power of 80% (not crazy in rigorous studies) and 50% of programs having an effect (not crazy in many areas) then you get that 94% of the programs that you stated that had impact, were trully effective.
I was just talking about your distinction between a current that reverses flow, and one that varies without reversing flow.
I don't know about yarn specifically, but for all the systems it's modeled after, the answer is "yes for binaries, no for libraries".

Right, it's obvious that non-drivers benefit from the roads too. You could still argue for higher gas taxes or other use fees if you wanted, for example to better align incentives (extra road usage leads to directly higher costs for the user). But this article certainly doesn't make that case.
Interesting to hear about how it worked in the US.

I think I heard about the TV frame syncing from an Australian YouTube video.

I'm from Europe where every TV and VCR would easily get a clock from TeleText (we also had fancy stuff like PDC to make sure your video recordings of TV shows didn't get cut off)
Yeah. Inspecting the node_modules folder for pretty much any front-end project is depressing. Still, I prefer npm to no package manager at all.

One problem is that packages often bundle everything, rather than including an npmignore. I'm guilty of this myself.

Do you think that the problem of over-dependence is reversible, and if so, how?
You're assuming that the thesis is that we need to move to a 100%-car-free society tomorrow. I doubt anyone is calling for that, mainly because, like you say, that's impossible. Everything we've built for the last 80 years has been built under the assumption of pervasive car use.

I take the thesis more like: "Cars are really expensive. We should stop pretending that they are not."
Pretty solid product you have there, Twitter would be directly competing no?
"This is how open source works"

Exactly. It's a client for an open standard. That's exactly why they're open, so that this can be done.

Now, someone explain that to the people who whine and cite xkcd.com/927 every time someone writes a new client.

Unless everyone commits to using nonsense names for software, collision happens.
> We could also reduce the cost of bringing new therapies to market by having the FDA say "if your drug is approved by the EU, you can sell it in the US" as per S. 2388

But what reason does the pharmaceutical company have to reduce the drug price in this case if it has a patent (i.e. a monopoly to dictate the price) instead of simply having more profit because of these (potential) changes in regulations?
American born Chinese checking in. I don't like to leave my little cushion called the Bay Area for this reason. In grade school I had my share of being called "Jap" and adults complimenting my English skills, but as an adult, the only racist remarks and behaviors (i.e. microaggressions) I've encountered in the past 20 years come from Facebookers in Idaho or thereabouts.

I consider myself an American, not hyphenated, who possesses more knowledge of Chinese culture than average. My close friends come in a variety of colors and as far as I can tell, we are just ourselves. That's not to say racism doesn't happen at all in the Bay Area, but we do have the luxury of being considered "nothing unusual" most of the time.
The basic issue seems to be that NASA moves very slowly these days, as NASA is very decentralized, and each center has different constituencies and interests. As a result of this, the "Vision for Space Exploration" went over-budget and fell behind schedule, then President Obama cancelled it, because he had little incentive to keep spending money on his predecessor's legacy.
I'd be surprised if this is true. When I was in college (graduated three years ago) a huge share of students had Apple laptops.
That would be why I suggested building remote operated robot factory on earth first. So the humans here can see and experience the problems before they get to mars and have to wait for the next years window.

Don't invert the burden of proof. It's up to the proponents of MBTI to demonstrate its effectiveness.

That makes sense to me - are the contributions then able to be considered tax deductable? I guess that would depend on the type of non-profit?
Summary:

> We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals.
Only when Mars becomes self-sufficient. As long as Mars is dependent on Earth, enforcing regulations would be ridiculously easy: do as we say or starve (or run out of some other essential resource).
When video drivers crash - do all GUI applications still crash with the display server?

I've toyed with Arch during Windows 7 times - after hearing how linux is more stable than windoze/windblowz - and then nVidia drivers crashed, X server crashed, aaand upon starting X - all GUI applications were closed.

Are. You. Friggin. Kidding me? People were talking about stability when such things happened? Linux stability compared to Windows 7 - zero. At that time.

Brand new market, which means no competitors and high demand for everything. Kind of like how everything was way overpriced in Clondyke during the gold rush.
I encourage you to spend some time perusing NASA Spinoffs: https://spinoff.nasa.gov/

Granted, NASA is slowly turning into a regulatory agency compared to being purely technical, so we can't use the rate of technical advancements in the past to predict the future. However, I think NASA is one of the handful of federal agencies where I stand to see tangible benefits from my tax dollars.
All of that requires an observer there to appreciate it. Messing up the scenery of Mars with industry is a champagne problem.
In the public imagination, cars explode. No one expects their phone to explode, especially just... randomly and out of the clear blue.
> There's a lesson for us here somewhere. Twitter undeniably provides value that is impossibly difficult to quantify by any widely-used economic metric (e.g. share price). It remains a platform where millions of users can interact directly with influencers (or, at least, their social media teams) on a platform that is comparatively less colored by political bias than others.

This won't be taken seriously, but I propose nationalizing it. The world needs a good free speech platform and with the actual requirements of the 1st amendment in place Twitter's banning and censorship practices would have to cease. The world might learn to become more tolerant of diverse opinions and thoughts even if they are "mean."
> His version of Ivan was a great man who was surrounded by corrupt boyars intending to sell out Russia, and only he has the strength to unite the country against them.

This is exactly what the "public"[1] public opinion is in Russia nowadays - Putin is talked about with respect, while his friends and local authorities all over the country are believed to by corrupt. Of course this suits Putin because people never blame him for anything, only his subordinates.

[1] There's no way to know the "real" public opinion because people are reluctant to talk honestly about these things with random interviewers.
That's not true
But being able to hold a conversation (and thus passing the Turing test) does not make anyone or anything capable of "infinite" self-improvement. As a matter of fact, we don't know what does, and I doubt that it's just a matter of throwing more CPU cycles at it.

Dynamic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28078089/is-julia-dynamic...

Julia uses its type system for:

- self-documentation

- reduction of boilerplate manual type checking that litters libraries in dynamic languages

- all those times you need to express the type of something, which happens especially frequently in numerical code

- performance

In the future, some "type linting" could be built into the standard library since we can infer types for so much code, but it isn't the top priority.
I14n is fun — to watch for the audience.

Apple behaves as if everyone has a credit card and the mapping from credit card to (legal) person is unique. That isn't so in Romania and Apple's heuristics go boom.

The same assumption shows up again a little later in the imbroglio: Apple asked him to admit some sort of wrongdoing, however gently, because credit card maps to person to the person they spoke to carries some responsibility, etc. Bogdan rejected, because credit card doesn't map to person and giving someone $25 isn't wrong.

The Ground_UP Project
There was probably a way to get your point across without calling someone an idiot, and if not, you didn't have a point in the first place.
It correlates poorly with any of the competing empirically-supportable models; e.g., as I recall, the I-E axis seems to be a blend of the extraversion and neuroticism axes shared by the EPQ (3 factor) and Big Five (5 factor) models. Better to use one of the scientific models directly than MBTI.
While this is a case of "two wrongs make a right"[0] - anything that provides even some value without the backend up will still be connected, perennially at risk of getting taken over by a bad actor.

Well, when you make something nearly free, it's no wonder the adoption skyrockets.
All the Mars programs have failed because they have lost momentum, not for technical or financial reasons. Your 'proposal' is not all that different from Lockheed's recent proposal, but neither would help humans get to Mars. Very few people are willing to stick with a costly program for over 20 years in the hopes that something may eventually happen; Apollo took less than 10, and it almost got cancelled.
