To kill two birds with one stone, as soon as animals demonstrate something more akin to tribal-level human behavior of religious worship (the grand fusion of self, environment, social, and mystery into the realm of higher powers that must be feared) and not postmodernist definitions of worship (the grand disconnection of the self from all other factors to appeal to an idealized self that can never manifest thank you CIA involvement in the postmodernist art movement and their unique ability to capture scary mommies everywhere) then I'll consider the idea that animals are demonstrating religious behavior.

And further more, if animals DO have religious behavior, then artificial intelligence research across the entire board is WOEFULLY inadequate to represent such a core part of the neurological interaction that generates religious behavior... a core behavioral capacity that was somehow missed in every single behaviorist research paper ever published since mankind mastered animal husbandry.

You either get in bed with the idea that only humans worship gods or you have to fundamentally throw all of psychology, sociology, and animal behavior studies completely out the window.

While ESA is nowhere as good as NASA at public outreach[1], does it really suck that we have to wait an extra day to find out what happened 100 million miles away?

[1] NASA probably is overly concerned about public outreach, to the point of choosing missions that look cool or sound cool over those that actually work or do new science.
For lower level math, my kids seemed to revisit the same subjects over and over from k-9th grades. For example, mean, median and mode, year after year. The first few years it was just robotic problem solving. After a few years, they started to get a broader understanding. Maybe some people need to take several passes through the higher level stuff too.I guess the problem is that there is not enough time.
The Codepen actually shows what I use and prefer. The IA book example was just to show a typical example. The yellowing there is a bit too strong IMO.

You might poke around and look at a number of books and see what particular shadings after actually having read content you prefer.
Indeed - if all the voters were psychopaths then they would at least elect a candidate that served their interests instead of being totally persuaded by show.

>There is no doubt that the US will need to set up the infrastructure to keep pace with the rapid changes in usage and content expected in the future.

I feel like we've been here before. It's almost like it's 1996 again with the Telecommunications Act. Our infrastructure is bullshit and it's making the US economy fall behind its peers. No worries! Instead of actually directly fixing the problem, let's give away all the power to corporations to fix as long as they super-pinky-swear to meet infrastructure goals.

Of course we all know how this ends - they didn't meet those goals, service stagnated even more, there was never any recourse, and we've axed the option to directly fix the problem. How convenient for ISP stakeholders in 1996.
No. Tuition only covers a portion of a student's cost to a university. I think it's around 30% at mine.

1) If a class is way over your head the university is wasting money having you there.

2) Having stragglers in the class that are far behind slows down the whole class.

3) Every seat that is filled with a student who is not ready for the class is a seat that can't be filled with a student who could actually pass it.

Well, to be fair, Ikea has 138 bed sheet /patterns/.

They have three different underlying sets (not counting size combinations).

I know companies and hiring managers who have hired from certain boot camps they consider to be good. They consider the certifications from those particular boot camps to be an indicator that the person they are interviewing can join a fast-paced team and start producing Rails or Node.js web apps with minimal extra training.

The boot camp grads often don't understand a lot of fundamental computer science, but the kind of programming work they are hired to do does not require an understanding of fundamental computer science, so lack of understanding is not a drawback. If you just need someone to churn out web apps, a boot camp grad can do that.

It's also often the case that self-taught programmers tend to write hacky, tightly coupled, non-modular code, don't like writing tests, don't know about CI or version control, don't work well on teams, etc. At good boot camps, the students learn to do those things, and work on projects that are similar to the ones they will work on if they find jobs in industry. So, some people consider boot camp grads superior to self-taught candidates.

However, all of the people I know who hire boot camp grads have a short list of boot camps they consider to be of good quality.
He threw the tablet because it wasn't working for him, per Belichick:

I can speak from the employer's point of view. It offers me another channel for finding possible qualified talent. I don't treat it much differently from other channels, and interview these candidates just like any other candidate. But I've hired a few developers from bootcamps and they've worked out well.

I can't say that these hires are necessarily better than other hires from other channels (e.g. universities, self-taught, etc). From my standpoint, it's having the extra channel that I find useful.

And after that, it comes down to the individual and how much potential & ability to learn each has.
Why? The phone is idle 90% of the day and thus doesn't need high-bandwidth data in my pocket. In foreground any app could request high-bandwidth data - or, why not, high-bandwidth data while the screen is on and low-bandwidth when the device is in sleep mode.

To be honest, it's the fault of current UX trends of making everything so dumb that people can be "proficient" in a program within first few seconds of seeing it for the first time. General-purpose computer is perfectly able to switch between many highly-specialized tools on the fly. It's just that powerful, efficient tools are rarely built nowadays - they've been replaced by pretty looking toys that sell fast.
While it's important to recognize context and nuance, there are actual facts in the world and it serves no one to put "some people believe" in front of them as this piece does in many instances just to appear neutral.

Engaging in that sort of knowledge nihilism makes it impossible to have honest, rational debates because it doesn't allow for participants to agree on even the most basic of facts.

Ah, I see. The main difference I can see is that it's opinionated, because everything else can be done by pip too (you can install utilities right in your path with it).

I agree that being opinionated is a big help. Everyone in Python-land uses virtualenv and pip, but it would be great if (as is actually happening now), they were bundled with the language and were the One Blessed way of creating a new project:

virtualenv myenv

Rust does get a few benefits from being statically linked, but yes, I see now that people compare cargo to mostly C/C++ tooling, and not to something like Python, thank you.
Sad, because they're the best hope we have against Comcast - at least wireless providers (I'm stuck with DSL over AT&T copper because I absolutely refuse to deal with Comcast any further, and my phone is faster than my home internet).

At least it's relatively easier to set up a cell tower as a new competitor than it is to wire the same number of homes; this is a big factor in why we've seen the explosion of wireless in the developing world (often in places where even basic electric service is unreliable).

And hey, the feds DID block T-Mobile and AT&T from merging, so there's hope yet that they won't just roll over to every request.
> They earn a few good reviews somehow at the beginning (paid? from mad people?)

This shouldn't be too hard. Have a few friends order a "product" you never ship or even pay a few people on Fivver to do the same. Costs $25 tops. Hell, you can ship them an empty envelope to put some tracking on it.

If I were the scamming type (and I'm not in the least) I think a decent scam would be create a really good quality private label product. Sell for six months at a very small profit margin. After the good reviews and best seller rankings pour in replace the inventory with shitty quality product at a huge profit margin. It would take a long time for the sales to stop. The initial sales inertia would take some time to slow down.

Maybe that wouldn't work, who knows.

It's definitely erratic.

After years of vague bug reports at various places we've worked, my 2 cofounders and I built a tool that records video of a bug, alongside network traffic and JavaScript logs.

Phases catch this problem early before `git push`. You don't want to run into the problem too late. Then you'll be faced with the decision to throw out your work because you accidentally rewrote something that should not have been rewritten. Or you'll have to decide at the last minute that you really did mean to make problems for everyone else.

Btw, with Mercurial Evolve, there's no need to force-push, as Evolve will propagate meta-history to other users that indicates what commits replace which ones.

I did a bootcamp program. In-person, 13 weeks, 9-5, 5 days a week, plus HW/Weekly projects/Capstone project.

If I had locked myself in my apartment could I have learned the same things in the same amount of time? Maybe.

Going through an organization took the legwork out and let me focus on the learning. I didn't have to seek out my own materials (I did anyways, but that was for added depth into things that interested me along the way), I didn't have to trust my ability to be self critical in order to evaluate my progress, I didn't have to prepare exercises and projects, etc.

Plus, I was going through it with 20 other students who were learning the same things at the same time as me - people to learn with, bounce ideas off of, ask different questions in class, etc.

Plus I got a ton of career support. They brought in panels of industry leaders to talk to us, took us to different types of companies to meet their teams and get a good sense of the different types of organizations we could work for. They helped us with our resumes, online presence, interview technique - and hosted 'career day' events where they brought in a staggering number of companies who were looking to hire someone just like us, and helped us with applications, networking etc.

Again, could I have taught myself the same amount of material in 13 weeks solo? Maybe. Would I have walked away with a new job as quickly as I did (less than 10 days after finishing the course), and with a decently sized professional network? Probably not.

On top of that, the physical learning environment was great (coffee, food, etc), plus going to school every day meant it was easy to stay in learning/work mode, instead of getting distracted or procrastinating at home.
You either meant inconveniently or from the ISPs perspective.
All of the above I said about Russia, the surprising part is having a pro Russian president in the Czech Republic.
Hmm, I've had problems with npm too, but none with pip. The trick there is to make sure you're working in the virtualenv of your project, by activating it or using something like virtualfish or the bash equivalent (virtualenv-wrapper, I think).
> Tuition only covers a portion of a student's cost to a university. I think it's around 30% at mine.

Where are you getting that from? Are you just dividing the tuition revenue by the university's budget? Because the university is there for a lot more than educating undergrads.
It's very interesting the quick journey from "skeevy, objectifying and a little bit racist" to shitty and asshole and avowedly harmful. I fail to see how that statement is harmful at all.

Do they even have the right to complain? You use whatever language you want, and they can choose whether or not to hang out with you. "He's boring to talk to, all he wants to talk about is Yankees baseball". Any allegation of misogyny these days or even worse, sexual misconduct will ruin the life of a man.

Maybe, but the revenue has to have the price of its competitor subtracted, and the remainder weighted by the percentage of the service that they would use the 'unlimited' data for.

So if choice 1 is $70/month for 25GB and $10 for 10GB afterward, and choice 2 is $90/month for 'unlimited' with an expectation to use 45GB, then both choices are equivalent.

If the choice 2 then reduces the utility of the service by 50% past 25GB, then the customer has paid $20 for $10 of utility, and so the loss should be marked as $10.

And if you buy choice 2 because it says 'unlimited', but you only use 5GB, then you never actually lost anything due to their deceit.

I'd expect a similar calculation to hold up here: For each customer, sum up the number of throttled hours over the number of total hours to get the "throttling percentage". Also, assign each zip code a 'statistical competitor' by combining all competing services using some model. Then multiply the throttling percentage by the difference in price multiplied by the percentage of utility lost.
If you complain to amazon and they don't refund your money in a reasonable amount of time (2 weeks?), then just get in touch with your credit card company and do a chargeback. To do this, it's best if you keep a record of your interactions with amazon to support your chargeback request
It's a rant not the truth. There are plenty of well designed websites out there which doesn't actually make those mistakes and I believe the rant to be saturating the actual reality.

Per Belichick, the experiment was to deliver portable video to the sideline. Per the NFL, the tablets allowed coaches to quickly queue, annotate, and loop game video play-by-play, as commentators and producers can do in the broadcast booth.

I think of Prime Video as having some of the value of Prime for me. Call that worth at least $3/month.

Then, for packages I don't need right away (which is a lot of them), I can pick "no rush shipping", which typically gives me a $1 Amazon Digital credit. Stack up a few of those per month and Prime becomes almost free. (We rent movies occasionally from Amazon.)

Then, extend Prime by a month everytime Amazon misses a guaranteed delivery date and Prime has basically no net cost to me. I was already ordering from Amazon multiple times per week before Prime was created. I'm sure Prime has increased that somewhat, but I still cross-shop Ebay, BestBuy, and others as well as checking camelcamelcamel.com on anything of non-trivial cost.

Personally, I have always wondered about the prominent position trigonometry and geometry get.

As it is typically taught, it is the most useless thing, the time spent there would be much better spent on algebra, calculus.
From basic theorem of algebra flows trigonometry and a lot of number theory, while from calculus with some linear algebra flows geometry.

The rationale is probably history.
A lot of those problems are created by technology because it's designed (as in, on purpose) to create them! There are strong commercial interests to keep you glued to various devices with screens on them. If we can somehow overcome that problem, I'm confident that the distraction/productivity loss issue will simply disappear.
I think you're better off bursting the data with the highest speed possible and getting off the spectrum ASAP. Doing IRC on 2G speeds, you'll be transmitting or receiving a decent chunk of the time. With LTE, you'll quickly send or receive your data, then go back to leaving the capacity available for others.

I think linear algebra is a much more valuable and general-purpose math tool. I'm not sure how feasible it would be to teach linear algebra topics "properly" to high schoolers, but even a half-assed linear algebra would be more useful than calculus.

The connections to geometry, general systems thinking, formal math methods, and countless applications of linear algebra are just the kind of thing students need to get them interested in learning more math.

Anyone interested in LA an its applications should check out my upcoming book, the No bullshit guide to linear algebra availale on pre-order here https://gum.co/noBSLA (it's almost finished; just beefing up the problem sections).
