But you can at least sue a doctor and get his license revoked. It is much harder to sue an algorithm.
i left my last job due to lack of any tansparency from upper management, bad management in general, bad culture and knowing that in the sector i was working in(non-profit healthcare), I would always be income capped well below the going rate for my skillset. and honestly it just wasnt very interesting to work in a place that was allergic to anything even remotely cutting edge and decisions were usually made by people that had no idea what the outcome would be, and based the decisions on how much they liked the sales people. ugg.

i felt like it was a bad fit after only two weeks, stayed for 18 months because my mom worked there.

I'm not convinced we have in fact detected gravity waves. From our point of view merging black holes would not move due to time dilation, but the waves detected are modeled after black holes without time dilation.

Although it's possible we detected a wave from a different source, not a black hole.
I have a software development background and am very interested in software sales, but it's been surprisingly hard to make the transition. I can't make it past a resume screen at most places. And coming from a development background, not a lot of my connections are in sales. I reached out to the ones that are and they said they'd keep me in mind.

A recruiter friend reached out and I'm considering working sales for his staffing agency.

I'd love to hear from people that made the dev -> sales switch!
No, it's also that OpenGL had long been a joke compared to Direct3D.
That's fair, but agree it is ambiguous the way it's asked.

This front-end doc [1] from Google with a similar example counts a sample page with (1) html, (2) one external css file, and (3) one external image as "a minimum of 2 roundtrips":

> As a result, this page incurs a minimum of two roundtrips before it can be displayed. Once again, the CSS file may take multiple roundtrips, hence the emphasis on "minimum".

> Notice that our "awesome photo" did not block the domContentLoaded event. Turns out, we can construct the render tree and even paint the page without waiting for each asset on the page: not all resources are critical to deliver the fast first paint. In fact, when we talk about the critical rendering path we are typically talking about the HTML markup, CSS, and JavaScript. Images do not block the initial render of the page—although we should also try to get the images painted as soon as possible.

Ummm, no, you can't buy gold or property either with the money now because even if the seller pays taxes he had to declare where the money came from and how would that get explained
In cases like that, I think it'd be so much better if people wrote "C and C++" to make it clear that both are indeed a requirement.
Thanks for the feedback.
Alas, a proxy API would not work in the case of Instragram, for example. There is no case in their API model where it fits. (Can't work in sandbox, isn't an allowed use case for submitted apps).

Of course I understand that at the moment web API maintainers don't care about that use case, but I'd argue that it is an important use case (as in "education is important " :-)

The reason why so many people were mixing Python code with R was specifically for these sort of task. Web scraping in R has really caused me to not touch another tool outside of R for a few years now and it is great.

Well done Hadley Wickham being inspired by libraries like Beautiful Soup and bringing a great tool to R.
Bank and investment accounts will yeld you single-digit points per year and in most cases - unless you have few MM, the cost of your bank account will be more than what you earn.

Meanwhile banks wage war on cash. Its harder and harder to withdraw your own money. Here, try and show up at your bank say you need $150,000. They tell you to come back in few days, and in some cases they will ask you to fill out the form and explain yourself why you want to withdraw your own money.

If you do not live in a reasonably safe neighborhood, plus do not owe an alarm system, plus do not owe a safe, plus do not awe a firearm, then yes the bank is your best friend. Other than that no reason to keep some federal paper at someone's else possession at their disposal for a mere 0.5% per year. You don't gain anything and in some cases, you might lose some or all of it (yes extreme scenarios but always)

ps. in all fairness I would say keep 70% in gold or silver, but over the years this commodity has been shifted between the countries in such huge quantity (government buy/sell-outs), that the price is dictate by which country has specific political system and how much PM they owe, rather than true market price. Unless you can predict you won't need to turn your PM into cash within next 5-10 years, which is hard calculation for anyone these days.

Rvest works fine with tabular data. If, however, you are working with data outside of Wikipedia, you will find that website data is very rarely available in a <table> and is instead part of a hierarchical tree, which is a pain to process/clean in R.

In such cases, working with Python/BeautifulSoup4 and importing the clean and normalized data into R will save frustration over time, even offsetting the overhead of using two languages.
The lack of specified type sizes is something that bit me recently. On pretty much every x86-64 C/C++ compiler, sizeof(long) is 8, except on MSVC where it's 4. Thank goodness for explicitly sized, now-standard types like int64_t.

though i was merely addressing this quote your comment confuses me both in fillip and content

from cohesion wiki(o):

Water, for example, is strongly cohesive as each molecule may make four hydrogen bonds to other water molecules in a tetrahedral configuration. This results in a relatively strong Coulomb force between molecules.

from coulomb force wiki(i):

Coulomb's law or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is a law of physics that describes force interacting between static electrically charged particles.

Thousands and thousands of Americans have been reading through the emails of one of their presidential candidates casting a big shining light on the secret deals, trades and political issues as products for big corporations and interest groups. The emails themselves was most likely leaked by a American citizen. So yeah. The US public is better informed on a lot things. How is that wrong?
I'm still in the job, but I'm looking for a new one. My reasons are stagnation, no proper training and mentoring (I'm a junior web developer with no prior experience), an extremely low salary (borderline minimum wage), among other reasons. If only I had enough saved-up money to survive for a couple of months, I'd have quit a long time ago.
The concern, though, is that if you grant a corporation unlimited speech powers, does it really have "freedom"? Does it make sense to talk about a "right" to do something you're legally forced to do?
Likewise!

If he (and by extension thousands more) pay tax, then there's no "get away" involved – the transaction has been done fairly and the Govt. got the requisite amount of tax.

The point is, if he has been doing this for 10 years and has a massive stack of cash which he tries to deposit now, that is going to bring him to the attention of the Income Tax authorities.
Somehow I feel like locksmithing and plumbing are metaphors for aspects of programming.

I'm in USA. Not a whole lot up until the very end. I tend to ignore it pretty well until it all gets close then obsession with it kicks in. I pretty much know election day is a productivity write off for me so I just don't worry about it, its only a day every 4 years.
Lots of the tasks carried out in offices are not technical enough to suffer from the issues you correctly identify after a given hurdle. I work as an economist in a government department, and a lot of the analysis involves ad-hoc projects processing data from different sources and doing some basic plotting/elementary calculations. Excel is perfect for this, but if something is too technical/repetitive it becomes less suitable.
No, a restraining order is not a private matter, it's the government restricting an individual's speech. Exactly the sort of thing to which "free speech" applies. No supprises here.
In the summary, it says that these theories are "best understood in Anti de Sitter space...". I thought current observations ran against a spacetime that had a negative curvature. Are they just saying the math is easier in that geometry, but that it still applies to flat (or ever-so-slightly-positively curved) spacetime? Or are they arguing in favor of a "saddle-shaped" universe?
>actually not that significant or deleterious, but a convenient political talking point.

This is not true. This is a problem that significantly impacts the economy and visibly changes the equation for the middle class. Real estate, cars, and other things you'd consider somewhat essential to an average household are artificially priced because of the purchasing power of people with "Black money". It is more than a political talking point.
It really looks as easy as it can get. The good part of R is that many R packages are designed in a similar way (highly specialized methods, doing a good job). Combining that with %>% makes you really efficient.
It's not the main point of this article, but I frequently see sources mentioning wind turbines as a cause of bird deaths. Clearly, it's true. Wind turbines may kill over half a million birds per year in the US[1]. That said, apparently cars and other factors like window strikes against stationary buildings, cats, cell towers, and electric wires kill orders of magnitude more birds[2]. Big numbers sound horrible without perspective...

I'd like to strongly opposite to this advise.

You've got 2 companies you can work at. You should go to the one you prefer to work with. Maybe that's the one you already are in, maybe not.

Almost, but my very densely populated state of Massachusetts has barely any trending searches for "provisional ballot", and none in Boston; whereas the swingier state of Ohio awash with trending "Provisional Ballot" searches.
The way I taught myself web development was:
1) The excellent Udacity courses (might not be free anymore, but they offer 50% back if you don't find a job).
2) Codeacademy for Javascript and jQuery.
3) Then, you need to build a project front to back. Choose a project that there is a similar one online that you can learn from. My first webapp is: http://sudokuisland.com
4) Google + StackOverflow

It took many months of work, but I definitely know enough to pick up whatever I need now for projects.
Estimating from the 400,000 Model 3 preorders, that group is in the low millions.

Meanwhile US auto sales are 1 million+ per month. The larger automakers are all working on electric platforms, they aren't ignoring the market that is there, or more importantly, the market that will exist as costs come down. But the point is that they don't really have much to gain from getting way out in front of the battery costs.

This is pretty silly. Being fluent in C has not much at all to do with language quirks. Since (I assume) the 1980s, the comp.lang.c crowd has been reminding us that compilers are fundamentally unknowable and that sizeof(char) could very well be a random walk averaging 1.35. Meanwhile, in the real world, network and kernel programmers have been using some variant of u_int32_t since forever to ensure that they can parse network packets and driver data structures by copying or even casting things into structs.

Also, why would anyone write ' ' * 13? For most of these questions, if your first instinct is "that doesn't look like good C code", your answer is better than the "right" answer.
Considering only 1 of 3 models in ReachNow is an EV I doubt that's the case.

5%+ for Gary Johnson would mean the Libertarian Party is here to stay and will only grow going forward. It also means that at the next election it will have significantly more funds that may even be enough to get the next LP candidate in the debates. If it can become a more European-style center-right party and a little more mainstream, a good Libertarian candidate may even win the presidency in 2024. And that's when the decline into obsolescence of the Republican party will begin.
Only negative thing I've read about this is that the controllers need a longer cable (yes, you can buy extension cables but they're $10 per controller, on a $60 system that is pricey).

Aside from that it is a great value proposition. A lot of games, good hardware, and updated to work via standard HDMI/USB.

I'm hoping that if this is a runaway success that Nintendo will consider doing a SNES, N64, and Gamecube version.
They're standardized now, but they've been in universal use since before I started writing C in 1994.
Your argument is information shouldn't be used to affect political change? If so, that is not a sound argument.
I've thought about going back to school to get a Mechanical Engineering degree, or Chemical Engineering degree.

I grew up with my father being a machinist, and eventually going on to being a QA specialist for a large defense contractor, so I've be lucky enough to be able to learn a lot when it comes to machining and designing. Spitting out a 3D design from a printer is really cool, but nothing beats slapping a chunk of steel into a Bridgeport and ending up with a precisely-milled widget.

My wife is also an engineer at one of the largest (probably largest) physical testing companies in the world, and got her Chemical Engineering degree as well. There's constantly stuff she's telling me about, problems at work, custom things she's doing, and we get pretty deep into conversation sometimes about how to best solve the problems.

The money just isn't there compared to being a software engineer, but like a lot of people have said in this thread, maybe this is just a "grass is greener" thing: these problems that I can't work on just seem that more tantalizing than being the person who is actually dealing with a backlog of them. Vacationing in other people's jobs is fun and easy, and ignores actually being that employee.
> This is not quite accurate as stated: the problem is the combination of a data structure that is not amenable to type inference with an API that would only be efficient if type inference had perfect knowledge of the contents of a DataFrame.

Sorry if I implied otherwise - what I meant is that the current DF structure is hard for the JIT to optimize, not that this is a fundamental limitation of Julia. Just that JIT's are limited. I shouldn't have said Julia is only a small step forward, I think. A JIT gets you a long way.

> There is a lot of work being done to develop a new API that has none of these problems and provides very high performance, which demonstrates that Julia's JIT is up to the task so long as you choose an appropriate API.

Can you link to information on this? I'd love to see information on the design around this.
Don't get too hung up on the term "first-mover".

I don't think he's necessarily referring to the very first start up a particular space. Everything he's saying is basically true, if you think of "first-mover" as the first company to dominate, which usually tends to happen within the first 1 to 2 years of when a particular product/idea becomes feasible.

The point of the article is not "first mover". The point is that opportunities get taken and gobbled up as soon as they are feasible. And once those opportunities are devoured and a company has a 3 year lead, it's nearly impossible for new companies to come in, unless they have a significant differentiation.
I've written a few blog posts where I used Rvest to get data and R's great visualization tools to visualize it. R has a ton of issues as a platform and language but this is a fantastic package and it has a great ecosystem for small data (the majority of data).
These are rocket-assisted, fin-gliding, GPS-guided high explosive rounds. The "cheaper old" rounds aren't cheap or old by anyone's standards, even the Americans'; they're just not bleeding edge.

Not to mention that there are future artillery technologies, rail guns etc, that the Navy is planning to install on these ships.

This isn't true at all. You can't buy an auto ride, but USD and Euro are used as reserve currencies. If nothing else, inflation is significantly lower than for rs.

A surprising number of people have asked me if they could change their black money with me for dollars at favorable rates.
My water analogy for a capacitor is a piston with pipes attached to both ends, with a spring system that pushes the piston towards the center position. Is that not a mathematically correct equivalent? (in an idealized system with no water resistance/inertia and disregarding that the piston is of fixed length - not that real capacitors have zero resistence, inductance or can store infinite charge)
One may or may not find out. One may or may not have the balls to leave after finding out.

They forgot to mention one nice detail - the included controller can also be paired with a Wii or Wii U by plugging it into a Wii Remotes nunchuck port.

This means you can use the authentic controller to play the full Wii Virtual Console catalog, which covers many games not included with the NES Classic.
Most of that article deals with interplanetary travel. The only reference to interstellar travel is in the "Theoretical Applications" section. If you look at the chart in that section, you will note that the two theoretical spacecraft are using 300 thousand or 30 million bombs. This is a problem, since estimates of current worldwide nuclear weapon stockpiles range between 10 to 15 thousand.

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pulse_propulsion is a better article, since it talks about a variety of theoretical spacecraft. You'll note that almost every single application uses a unmanned craft in order to reduce mass and keep travel times down to about a century.

Charles Stross (cstross) has written on his blog about the difficulties of human interstellar travel multiple times:

- http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2007/06/the_high...

- http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2009/11/the_myth...

He also has written about the difficulties of radiation shielding on interstellar travel: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2016/08/san-trom...

> "Anyway, the point I'd like you to take away from this is that while it's really hard to say "sending an interstellar probe is absolutely impossible", the smart money says that it's extremely difficult to do it using any technology currently existing or in development. We'd need a whole raft of breathroughs, including radiation shielding techniques to kick the interstellar medium out of the way of the probe as well as some sort of beam propulsion system and then some way of getting data back home across interstellar distances ... and that's for a flyby mission like New Horizons that would take not significantly less than a human lifetime to get there."
I use my Hue lights daily, but I haven't opened the official app in years thanks to 3P apps & Philips's own Zigbee switches.
> nobody is building Maglev systems aside from a few pet vanity projects because High Speed Rail is "Good Enough" and cheap!

Japan is building the Chuo Shinkansen, which will be a major intercity Maglev line. It's expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya in 40mins, down from 100mins on the Tokaido Shinkansen (although a good chunk of that is due to a more direct route through the mountains), and later Osaka.

I could believe it's not necessarily a cost effective investment, but I don't know if I'd call it a vanity project. My impression is that they're trying to duplicate the success of the original Shinkansen, by building something similarly ahead of its time.
I wonder if the author of the article realizes that "protips", while being an internet meme today, arose as nuggets of gameplay advice from GamePro magazine, some for these very games.

It hit me hard in the nostalgia feels to see that again.
There is an official transaction, but only for a fraction of the real transaction. The other fraction is done in cash.

all of these web scraping frameworks, doesn't it tell you that the web needs more wide spread semantic markup?

<jobs-list>
<job>
<employer> YCombinator </employer>
<position> ... </position>
</job>
</jobs-list>

Something like that?

I know what everyone will say, it is so terse and convoluted, but maybe something like

<ul semantic-markup="jobs">
<li semantic-markup="job">
<p semantic-markup="job-employer"> YCombinator </p>
<p semantic-markup="job-position"> ... </p>
</li>
</ul>

Seems like a lot of work though...maybe I take that back.
