> I really want to make this less painful.

For who?

Replying to every applicant, the majority of which are borderline spam, is just extra work with zero added benefit to the business. Even if you make it easy, it is extra work. Not to be heartless, but people might then actually reply to you, and you spend more time dealing with someone you didn't even want to interview in the first place.

I get that as an applicant, this sucks. But as a hiring manager? Full communication with every applicant is MORE painful. And that is why they do not do it.

I believe you are absolutely right.

We all believe delusional things. Right now you more than likely have multiple if not many beliefs that are not rooted in reality. Even the smartest people have these.

Society validates some illnesses or disorders and shuns other (sometimes for good reason). We often see success in and of itself as a validation, when people can become successful in spite of flawed thinking or behavior.

Society can breed mental illness and it might be doing that right now.
I wish he/they would use '2.4 GHz' and '5 GHz' instead of '2G' and '5G' which are already things. That's definitely going to cause confusion.
> It's often a stupid rule.

By the way, I haven't down-voted you, but I think I understand why others did. Before calling stupid a pillar of a (programming) philosophy with decades of useful outcomes, you should stop and ask yourself whether it's just a matter of taste on your side or, even more likely, of ignorance.
WiFi networks need to be configured every now and then, e.g. to set up a guest WiFi, change the password, change the channel to a less crowded space, or activate MAC-filtering to kick my neighbours out. With LEDE I can do all of that with a straight ssh. No way I will maintain Java alive on my Mac just for this.
The tipping point for me was a bug in the Ubiquiti firmware, I systematically had to boot the AP twice to get it working. LEDE is perfectly stable.
To be clear: it's not for the lack of alternatives, like http://frontiersin.org or http://elifesciences.org .

It's purely a cultural problem with life sciences . The problem is how to get way more people to publish in open access journals, so that they become prestigious. Elife is doing good progress with it.

>You're not motivated by a job's salary, you're motivated by the nice things you can do with money--things you decided are intrinsically more important than the things you can do while broke.

We're not talking about the same kind of motivation, obviously.

We're talking about motivation in the work itself vs being motivated to work because of others things you want to do with the money.

To make it an extreme example, in the first case you'd do the work even for free, or even pay to do it (like many people pay to do some hobbies), even if you had all the money you need.

Eh, tell that to the broke kid from Centre(sic), Alabama who has the choice between working at the 711 and probably getting a nice meth addiction (or watching most of his high school deal with their own), slinging meth himself eventually ending up doing 5-10 in the state pen, or the Army. The Army recruiters promise college, which he damn well can't afford in three lifetimes, training, a sense of honor, and a trip out of a red neck suck hole that took his dad, brother and most of his buddies so deep they can't see sun.

It's "volunteer" in the sense that you technically make the choice. But for a lot of kids signing up those choices are sleeping on the couch in the trailer park, a prison cell or an Army cot.
You say you work in the industry. How long have you been doing this and what do you do?

You don't have to answer but your questions are odd for someone with experience in the industry. But let's get into it:

How is performance made public? The same way people know what "stealth" startups are doing. Sometimes a document leaks and sometimes people talk. Usually both. Let's just say a manager is super secretive. Do you know how many people in the chain know performance anyway... Current and former employees. Current and former recruiters of these employees. Current and former clients. Current and former consultants to those clients. etc... And you're saying all these people also don't have that human urge to brag about these rock stars of the investment world? OK.

Even if that were the case, everyone has a cousin at State Street or HSBC, these people take coffee breaks and love to gossip performance and secrets breakdown there.

This is like Fermi's paradox. If all these funds out there are beating the market, then where the hell are they??

All of the funds beating the market are secretive and successfully secretive? For decades?

If it was as common as you imply there should be more of them known to the public by choice or by accident. That is logic.

Don't be the guy who mortgages his house to buy Herbalife products and tells his wife this is your year.

The comment above said 99.9% are not beating the market. There are thousands of funds out there. All funds are filing Form ADV's now...We know who exists. So yes there's a few people who do beat the market. Those 3 Russian guys in Texas and that story about the MIT PhD's working out of a house outside Miami and so yes, there's a few examples out there. Dinky family offices don't count. But no, there's a not a bunch of professional investors with serious weight under management and outside clients beating the market over a secular horizon.

There's a handful, and if you are at one of them congrats to you. But to come on a forum saying there's a bunch of professional investors beating the market, they just all happen to super secretive billionaires and they don't tell anyone about it. That's misleading. That's tech back office got your info from a e-book kinda talk. And it would be at odds with your original thesis that folks that beat the market are secretive and don't talk. So it makes me think you don't work at one, you just want to believe they exist. But again if you do work at one, congrats. Are you hiring? DM me.

So where are they?

The 'do one small thing and do it well' philosophy is at least contentious in the general sense.

Reality: no unit exists outside the context of it's ecosystem.

Ergo, the API to that unit, and the degree to which it integrates with the other pieces is paramount.

The 'do one thing and do it well' ideal implies almost a kind of 'unit sovereignty' that in many cases does not exist.

In large, complex systems, 'units' can only view as parts of a greater whole.

'What they do' is almost less important than 'how well they fit'.
Having a law for everything... this doesn't work out well in the end.

There are several well known (certainly to AMD) strategies and tactics for dealing with this situation.

One example: AMD can support CUDA while focusing on price/performance at the low end (initiating an Innovators Dilemma for NVIDIA), and if successful then solidify AMD's position, for example by starting a standards process for a successor to CUDA.

NVIDIA, of course, has various countering moves available such as IP moats, initiating competing standards, and so on.

Rarely is a credible player entirely boxed in. And even then, there are moves available to make the best of things like making some acquisitions and then spinning off the division into an independent company, or selling it off to another player (in this case probably Intel, but maybe ARM could be suckered into it) and so on.
> Well written articles that contain no speculation shouldn't rot.

And who is going to ensure that they are well-written and contain no speculation?

> Vandalism issues are a problem with the wikipedia software, not a problem with the concept of having lesser-trafficked pages.

If you mean to say that any software explicitly written for the purpose of letting random people publish content instantaneously with no supervision is bad software, I might agree. Otherwise, no. Vandalism is a social problem resulting from lack of article oversight. And I'm not just talking about inserting 'PENIS' into pages, because that is basically solved already with edit filters. I am talking about hoaxes, I am talking about presenting speculation as fact, I am talking about fabricated citations, I am also talking about well-meaning people who inadvertently turn carefully written technical articles into Potato Jesus. A while ago, I've looked at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blue_Screen_of_De... which contains this lovely sentence:

> Windows 98 and early builds of Windows Vista displayed the red screen from a boot loader error raised by ACPI.[19][20][21]

Cited to three sources. Looks great, doesn't it? But if you know anything about boot loaders, about ACPI or just about Windows, you understand this sentence is complete nonsense. You don't even need to look at the citations which obviously don't say any such thing. This is no doubt a result of shoddy copyediting by someone who didn't understand the subject. What is your answer to that?
It's not unreasonable to start typing in a text editor and you're likely to hit a or i sooner or later ...
Most of the core revenue making mechanics are imported from Japanese games, that had a game boom earlier than the west due to abundance of feature phones that were very close to modern smartphones... as well as people bored in trains.

One of the core elements is the concept of "gacha" or probabilistic purchase, where instead of selling an item for a price, they sell a low probability of getting what you actually want for a lower price... but in the end people try over and over again and easily lose track of their purchases and end up spending more.

Some forms of gacha are no longer legal (e.g: kompu gacha), due to their exceptional ability to make people spend... last time I checked the thing was "box gacha".

Another way of making revenue is through "events", which are competitions, but their outcome is heavily influenced by how much you spend. They're basically auctions.

The thing is... in the end people don't really win. To win an event in a top grossing game you might need probably a thousand dollars. It's not worth it.

I think many people see crypto currencies, until they are regulated, somehow, as legal ways to not pay tax. Obviously they are not and when the gov catches up, they might get you anyway. They are very patient.

Ofcourse things are easier to hide if you want to for a while, but how would you turn it into actual money if we are talking large amounts?

>You speak of home based studios using MacBook pros, but anyone doing that is obviously not a professional.

Tons of musicians/producers/etc have those, while making more money than professional studios from their productions -- and not just in EDM.

Lots of the work that studios did for even superstar musicians (pop, etc), nowadays happens in the box, and not just demos and early sketches.

>This notion that MacBooks (or even laptops in general) are super popular in the professional audio world is fiction made for advertising.

Rather the professional audio world is not what it used to be.

I'd consider million-making Bjork or whatever working on their laptop, as equally (or more) professional than some struggling studio or post-processing facility.

I am not going to entertain you on that. Nevermind I can't tell how serious you are because written text loses a lot of context, I'm just not going to tempt you when you introduced the whole idea saying you are tired of atheist arguments. Let's say I am a skeptic and if you make extraordinary claims, they better had been convincing.

I'll give you that "exist to exist", or an autonym god, for lack of a better word, seems to be a logical fix-point, which is notable given the name Y Combinator. At that point I want to quote wikipedia, which would mean I am out of my waters and shouldn't be baiting for someone to correct my ad-hoc interpretation.

All that to say, this argument is trite indeed.
>Why draw the line at those disorders?

>Anxiety disorders and depressive disorders can be bad enough to wreak havoc on a persons life.

I am sure they can wreak havoc, having faced some myself. Not saying they are not real problems.

I just think that in many cases, support of social groups, exercise etc. are more effective treatments than going to a therapist/psychiatrist or taking medication.

For example, exercise is now proven to be about as effective or more as an antidepressant. Mindfulness is now being talked about as a very effective treatment for anxiety/depression. People have been saying this kind of stuff for years, but they had zero legitimacy and were laughed at before the science came along. Meditation/mindfulness was considered spiritual hippie-bullshit, now all of a sudden its a viable and effective treatment..

So it just makes me think, when we are talking about as nascent and complicated a science as psychology, there is some value in "folk remedies" and "common sense" which are all too often dismissed as not being scientific enough. Yet that still happens. Do we really have to wait for a hundred studies before we accept that there might be better solutions in common wisdom outside of the current science? Particularly given that many of those remedies can't cause any harm, there is no risk to trying it.

Anyways, I am all for therapy and medication if thats what one wants. Just saying that an environment of disconnection breeds more mental illness, like an unsanitary environment breeds more physical illness.

I don't see why DPR would require or support a polarized two party system. The idea is that the secondary (party) ballot allows you to be completely honest and vote for the party you really prefer, even if that party would be considered a "spoiler" under FPTP. Because the secondary ballots are totalled nationally, there is no danger that your support of a smaller party ends up as a wasted vote.

Of course, there are a few extra details to deal with, such as how to include independent candidates (with no party behind them) and whether to introduce a minimum threshold of support for a party to appear on the secondary ballot. These are relatively straightforward questions, though, and are covered by this website about the voting system:

"It's just functioning mental illness which is validated vs dysrunctional mental illness which is not validated"

To be fair, this is the very thing that makes mental illness ... mental illness. It isn't that normal folks don't have some abnormalities and illnesses, but the fact that it affects their lives and prevents, to some extent, them taking part in a normal life. Sometimes it plagues folks.

In a way, it is kind of like blood pressure. Everyone has blood pressure, some higher than others. A few people that run a little high don't need to do anything. Some people take meds, and some do diet and exercise and such things. This all depends on what their blood pressure responds to and what the cause is - some folks get it genetically, others through diet and lack of exercise.

Edit: It is an easy example only, not trying to minimize mental health issues.
> about machine learning: how hard it is to actually trust results

I find the opposite true: code is easy to replicate and the datasets for algorithm comparison are open (e.g. imdb used in the PV paper). If you show very good results (especially with a simple approach such as PVs) people will immediately implement your algorithm and if their results don't match your published results, it will be known. PS: I implemented PVs shortly after it was published - though I don't care so much for the 1-3% or wtv accuracy discrepancy on the imdb dataset, the idea is great.

> Graduate students almost never write tests for their code

1) I doubt a standard software test would've helped here (probably cross-val would've caught it); 2) Who writes tests for experiment code? 3) The graduate student story is concerning: either a) someone doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the paper w/o being credited or b) this someone doesn't exist

I've suggested something similar numerous times. Along the lines of what the Humble Indie Bundle does. That way, people can decide what has priority over what, and how much to allocate to it.

Unfortunately, this'll open up a can of worms for the state and its proponents. It does not sit well with them that people can "via taxes" influence what gets funded or defunded. E.g. Rich people could reduce their "welfare group" contribution to 0.1% of their taxes, and bump up say infrastructure to 99.9%.
