Even DNA is suspect, if not because the base science is junk but simply because keeping some semblance of an "evidence chain" requires much more care than is presently taken.

German police was chasing the "phantom of Heilbronn" until it turned out that all the found DNA was actually of some laboratory assistant:

Yes, without a second thought.
I agree. It's important to realize that the rationalization of a lack of diversity in the workplace is explicitly based on racist theories about intelligence, and that the discomfort that many people feel is the fear of judgment if they openly express adherence to those beliefs.
I learned that when there was a natural gas explosion in the building I worked in in the 80s (nobody was hurt). I recorded several TV news broadcasts on it, and every one got the basic facts wrong in different ways. Things like one called the building a warehouse (it was an office building).

There were no political issues nor agendas nor money at stake, the news reporters just didn't make any effort to be correct.

I've often wondered what we know about history that is dead wrong.
> I would think white men would be more liable to impostor syndrome due to the general favoritism towards white men.

favouritism towards white men is pervasive but invisible; affirmative action is rarer but highly visible, so it gets focused on more.

The average person is not solving it. And the average person isn't going to go, "oh it's phlegm, I only donate to mucus-related causes"?
It used to, but the newer Docker for Mac uses xhyve which is more lightweight. It also by default runs a pretty stripped down version of Linux. The default VM size is 2Gb, but you can increase that if you need to.

I'm currently working on a project which involves a Docker replication of a production environment. The Docker Compose environment has 7 docker containers including Cassandra, Kafka and Flink plus some nodejs micro-services. This all runs happily in a 6Gb docker container leaving memory free for Eclipse, Atom, Outlook and a bunch of other applications on a 16Gb 2015 MacBook Pro. At no point have I felt that the machine is performing poorly due to memory exhaustion.

That's essentially what Google Cloud Dataproc gives you (managed Hadoop/Spark):

- Per-minute billing

- 0-to-cluster in under 90 seconds (aim for 30 seconds)

- Pre-emptiblem VMs

- Custom VMs

Now you start with a job, pay a 30 second penalty, and execute it on an entirely ephemeral cluster. The "get a cluster and fill it with jobs and round up to an hour" model is indeed outdated IMHO.

I thought the whole Windows thing was totally stupid (I is also freedom software advocate). I've been a big fan of Docker for about three years, put loads of stuff into production at a handful of different companies, most recently using native Swarm features that came with 1.12. Personally, I thought the Windows thing was a gimmick. But what I see (as someone that has access to the Docker community through open source) is this enormous group of people who are chained to Windows technologies. And for years and years they've watched all the cool kids play with the cool toys, from the sideline. And what Docker-for-Windows has done -- with help from a new kind of Microsoft -- is expose all of these very eager people to containerization and microservices and open source and free software more generally. Having been exposed to loads of these people (and there are an enormous number of them), I think it means a lot of important things about bringing open source and free software into the fold for these people. Docker-for-Windows opens the door for a yuge number of developers to appease their enterprise leadership by sticking with the Microsoft brand, while also having the whole world of free software at their fingertips. I can see this world on the horizon in which open source and free software concepts have broken into the Microsoft ecosystem, and I believe it comes waving the Docker flag. I am still extremely suspicious of Microsoft as a company, and wouldn't pay for Windows if my life depended on it, but you can't say they aren't doing some interesting things over there at Microsoft lately.
OK, sure, but what else have you got? Shall we run a controlled double-blind experiment where we expose only half of the participants to the idea that e coli was found at Chipotle, but not the other half, and repeat it in 20 distinct different cultures?

It's not exactly a crazy theory that "people eat less at a store than has been in the national news for poisoning people". Science and logic do not require us to pretend to be complete idiots.
The num crate is an open problem. There's a lot of contention around what it is supposed to support. Mathematicians, scientists, HPC programmers, prototyping programmers, embedded system programmers, pointer-arithmetic-doing programmers... they all want something different from a number crate. That's why it is not in the std library: there's no agreement on what it should do, and iterating toward perfection in the standard library will introduce a huge amount of churn and breakage. (And if you try to avoid churn and breakage, you're hamstrung by the current implementation to a num crate that suits nobodies needs.)
But you can't put a dryer on top of it, which is a great space saver. And most dryers are front-loading, why not washing machines?

Pixel. iPhone. Two sides of the same lousy coin. They both do the same thing. And they are doing it increasingly poorly. But consumers keep lapping it up blindly.

Python uses destructors/finalizers to free OS resources and a GC to free memory. Because Rust has no GC, it uses destructors for memory and OS resources. So adopting Python's scheme for calling destructors would force us into using that for memory as well.

Ah, what I know as "figure-skating voting". I don't know very much about these except that Arrow's theorem can't apply directly to them because they have a different ballot structure; however given that Borda is something of a special case of score voting (in the same way as in crypto; random permutations are special cases of random functions meeting different needs), presumably there are some regimes where you can push it so that it has similar behavior.

> Nothing wrong with that, it's just market segmentation. Might even be a good thing since it avoids misaligned business interests. I mean if your company is a profitable ongoing concern without an app, then a bells and whistles app probably isn't critcal to success and a simple wrapper on a web app might be a reasonable first pass at implementing 'mobile app as a feature' because it is the simplest thing that might work.

Yes, these are the lines we're thinking along currently. I just wanted some feedback to make sure I'm not missing something about the hybrid option, that perhaps it truly is far worse that I had come to understand. But from the responses I've received here and elsewhere, and my own research, it really does seem like a logical approach, at the very least for an MVP.

Apple has _always_ pushed the privacy angle in their marketing. That's why they make pages like this one: http://www.apple.com/privacy/approach-to-privacy/

Secure enclave. App sandboxing. Fine-grained revocable permissions. TouchID. Differential privacy. iMessage encryption. Find My iPhone. On-device models for photo recognition.

The question is how to spin it in a positive way.

The developer looks at the app sandbox and fine-grained permissions and thinks "I can't run my code on my own device," and walks away.

The police officer looks at TouchID and the secure enclave and thinks "I can't gather evidence," and walks away.

The marketeer looks at on-device models and differential privacy and thinks "I can't understand what my users want if the device doesn't report it," and walks away.

But the user (arguably) benefits from each of these things. App sandboxing, permissions, and a lack of background tasks remove the ability to run malicious code without my consent, in theory. Secure enclave and encryption remove a malicious third party's ability to intercept my communication, in theory. On-device recognition models allow me to benefit from better organization without sending my photos to some cloud vision service, in theory.
"Waiting for your turn to speak isn't the same as being silenced. "

In mostly black schools, whites aren't given a turn to speak on this. They shout over us in unison with some beating the shit out of the white people that disagreed with them. That was common for years in all of the ones my brothers and I went to. On public media, they just tell us we don't understand, can't understand, are the oppressors, etc and we need to stfu on permanent basis. Also, we need to promote their message, support their pro-minority programs, and step aside in their ensuing rise.

This isn't about turns. It's about them dominating people they disagree with much like others dominated them. Group vs group politics. They neither care what we have to say nor want us to be able to get our message across. Personally, I listen to and try to help them but not vice versa. They're clear we don't count.

Note: There's certainly exceptions to the above rule as always. I'm not talking about them.
Not so fast, "obviously".

I believe that "neolocal" households are unique, mostly, to post middle age Western Europe. And the 1950s are anomalous within that time scale.

Otherwise we see patri- or matri local multi generational households in which adulthood is not correlated with setting up a new household at all. You would marry someone and the move into their parents house. Sure you would start having children, but there isn't the same leaving adolescence thing.
I found no value in the first two seasons. It's been on the front page of HN at least 4 times in the past couple weeks. I tried watching the third season hoping it was better. It's still stupid. It's like they just take some very plain 1:1 observation about exactly how the world is right now, focus on one specific demographic, then create a skit around it that has no depth. They create imaginary worlds, but they're not very imaginative. They're basically exactly the world we're in, but they replace a few things with something slightly different. It's like science fiction for people who don't really like science fiction.

It's shallow intellectually, but it doesn't even have any depth emotionally. At least with most other popular TV shows there's depth in terms of personal relationships. There's drama that's more emotionally interesting. Black Mirror seems to be optimized for people who are blunted both in terms of intellect and social emotion. It's one of the most boring TV series on Netflix, which is a shame because there's not much else that even attempts to be interesting in a more sci-fi way.

I think the only reason why people find value in Black Mirror must be because of references. Like how they love jokes on Reddit when they refer to something they all know. People must be like, "Ahaha, they're referencing how people are always on their phones. So true. LOL look, it's trollface!! Dude, look, trollface is on TV. I know trollface. Haha this show is great." What else would people be getting out of it?

It was as much as 10 minutes too long and something was wrong with the editing, like they didn't have enough good meaty shots to fill out some kind of required run time so the editor had to hold shots too long. Then there was the climactic scene where they kept repeating similar shots and beats over and over for what felt like forever, like the story's needle was dislodged and skipping. That was a mess and killed the remaining investment I had in the story. There were also several important but very flatly filmed scenes of dialog that made the acting come off as weak (I think it was the editing/shot choice and not the actors, though). My least favorite episode by far, replacing The Waldo Moment, which was then bumped one notch higher again by the soldiers/VR episode later, which had several (maybe too many) decent ideas and an interesting world but needed a couple more passes on the script.

Other four were really good. San Junipero might be my favorite episode of the series.

[EDIT] I've just checked Wikipedia and S3E1 is the only episode that Brooker didn't write or co-write, just a "story by" with the teleplay by two other people (from Parks & Rec). Maybe that's where the trouble started.
That's not entirely precise. There might be different freedom organizations that agree on the cause, but disagree on the methods to achieve it. If this is the case (and in many cases it is) then there is a difference.

Shipman, B. A., 1996, Investigating bee behavior from the standpoint of fundamental physical principles, Am Bee J, 136, 5:339-40

Sadly, neither I nor my institution subscribe to the American Bee Journal. Her website also lists a second paper:

My main grip with these discussions is that nobody seems to have addressed how they affect realistic scenarios. Finding an intricate scenario in which a system fails is entertaining, but doesn't help in the real world.
I understand the challenge, and the importance of the proof-of-principle. But again? Having done Atari games, then Go, at what point exactly does google deepmind start attacking some real world problems of consequence?

It's good that you admit this in public, and validating for women and minorities who are never sure if they weren't hired because they weren't good enough, or because the person doing the hiring was proudly racist or sexist.
If you grew up never eating with a fork and knife, you'll certainly feel uncomfortable and out of place being put in a situation where that's expected. You can argue that culture is "wrong", but that won't really help you.

There are all kinds of cultures ("communities of practice", is the term) that we find ourselves in. Academics is one of them, in the sense that being a successful member requires you to be proficient in things like making coherent arguments, arguing from evidence, and asking clear questions. If your parents were university faculty, for example, you likely have much more exposure to a world where this is the norm than if you're first-generation college bound, which will make it much easier for you to navigate that world. That doesn't mean there's something "wrong" with academic culture -- it evolved because of what its practitioners do.

To the extent that "university student culture" crosses over into "the culture of the well-off", though, I'm inclined to agree with you.
But they do. And not necessarily carelessly.

It's actually the other way around, I'd say. Individual unit control follows very naturally when you have unlimited APM. And most of the time you can define simple and good criteria on how to position the units (e.g. concave, or exactly the right distance apart to avoid splash damage, or one unit a tiny bit more towards the enemy to be the first one targeted by incoming fire, ...). Build orders can be programmed, yes, but transitioning between strategies properly based on observations and guessing or judging the enemy's strategy is quite hard.
And people are aghast at the idea that there might be a reaction opposed to such insansity...
What does malloc have to do with anything? Returning a pointer to the stack is just as likely to break everything if done improperly. Moving or copying a struct that points at itself is also going to break.

In fact, "how to to either of these things" is such a common question for new rust programmers trying to solve their borrow checker complaints that it constitutes pretty good evidence people are doing these things all the time with little understanding of why they are problematic.

And even if you _do_ know better, circumventing the borrow checker is fairly trivial.
That's hard to answer because there wasn't a precise point where I started and that's not the only thing I've been studying in my life, and I've studied a lot of this while working full time jobs which didn't really require this knowledge (constructive procrastination ftw). I started getting interested in sequential Monte-Carlo methods around 2008 while working at a hedge-fund and I think I had a pretty solid grasp by 2011. But I started with solid math fundamentals, so picking it up wasn't too troublesome.

I think a talented high-schooler could learn this topic in three to four years by studying it (and nothing else) intensively. I think it tends to happen more organically in general. You become proficient along the way, it's more of a lifelong thing. I think every piece you'll learn will be valuable and useful on its own.
weird. I'm an academic in the Humanities and a straight white male. I don't think I've ever been called an ally and I have never been asked not to have an opinion on things or to enter certain spaces.

As I said, a slice can point to any memory, it doesn't matter where it came from: i.e. your allocator/things using it can expose slices instead of just plain pointers.

Generics and privacy are definitely language features, and they're core to the ease with which one can create abstractions. Rust is a systems language, it tries to give programmers the power to create their own safe abstractions as needed.
