I can't remember what journal it was published in and google isn't helping.

I found this for hospital-level comparisons (these should be much more accurate due to far larger numbers): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4250275/#!po=2....

However:
"Most commonly reported outcome measures have low reliability for differentiating hospital performance."
It sounds like you want one of the hybrid watches. No LCD, so they look like a traditional watch and don't have abysmal (for a watch, which I believe needs to go months between charges) battery life like the iWatch. But they connect with your phone over BlueTooth and give you vibrating alerts and the ability to control your phone using the watch buttons.

Here's one I came across today:

The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality – It's Driving Truth to Extinction
Ask HN: What 5 languages would you teach someone new to CS?
Curious what 5 languages or technologies (hadoop?) you would tell someone relatively new to CS to learn. The goal would be to give them the ability to do many things in an easy and modern way, or alternatively, to have access to lots of job possibilities.
You can map keys in vim to jump to definition, view the underlying type, see implementera of a function. It's still nicer to me to be able to use a more visual IDE, but those things help. I think code completion like in Visual Studio Code makes things a lot nicer. I'm glad there is competition out there.
Yep, he also spend 2x on international delivery and 20% on VAT (450-150)*0.2=$60: about $700 in total. After refund, he we will get $500 back and be able to sell phone for 1/2 of price: about $250, so $700 is risked for $250 of profit at max.

In USA, will you put $70K at stake with high risk of catch to win $25K at max?

IMHO, postage was opened at custom (because it declared value was over $150) and phone was stolen by a guy, because their low wage forces that way: they can stole 10x of their yearly salary in just one month, until they caught. When they are caught, they will bribe police and leave. New guy will come and will work for next few months, repeat.
It's my impression that they really don't want to be a CDN. One might suggest that as a service that could generate revenue if they charged for it, however none of the cheapskates using GitHub as a CDN would ever consider paying for a CDN...
Furthermore, there is a world market for other energy sources, which are all somewhat fungible. So if solar takes off around the world, fossil fuel demand will slack and prices will continue to drop making their extraction less viable.

Hopefully we also start to see some significant replacement of fossil fuels used for transportation.
In what way is 'Senior Technical Intern' Senior? I wouldn't go as far as saying that's a red flag, but I'm a bit skeptical of that title. It's a negative signal to me that it's not, in fact, a senior role. Other people might not be so skeptical. In which case, they will have higher expectations. You wouldn't want this either because (1) your interviews will be based on these expectations and (2) you're applying for Junior roles. My opinion is that you should put quotes around "Senior Technical Intern" or drop the "Senior" modifier alltogether.

Also, I think you reduce the resume down to one page. The foreign language section is taking up too much vertical space.
Yes: http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/9/8/622/htm

Energy pay-back time (EPBT) results for fixed-tilt ground mounted installations range from 0.5 years for CdTe PV at high-irradiation (2300 kWh/(m^2·yr)) to 2.8 years for sc-Si PV at low-irradiation (1000 kWh/(m^2·yr)), with corresponding quality-adjusted energy return on investment (EROIPE-eq) values ranging from over 60 to ~10.

If you want to see other publications on the same topic, try hitting Google Scholar with search terms "photovoltaic" "life cycle" "energy payback". For the most accurate results, restrict your search to recent years. Manufacturing processes are revised rapidly and studies from the turn of the millennium are now badly obsolete. (Though even in 1990 PV systems were net energy positive on average; the worry that PV system manufacturing consumes more energy than the lifetime output appears to be a holdover from the very early (1970s) days of terrestrial PV systems.)

Thank you. I am not deep into Racket yet, but it requires concentration which I lack at the moment. Based on your suggestion, I'm going to stay focused and attempt to complete, instead of distracting myself.

I started reading HtDP2e before finding the Edx. The MOOC helped reinforce what I was reading. I realized that through Racket, learning to program is a superior experience. This, compared to any other (popular) languages, people are teaching (or coding on the screen). I spent too much time watching people code. People attempt to teach online, but most of them lack the traditional pedagogy. They know how to code, but they don't necessarily know how to teach.

The only exception I would make to above (as far as what I know right now), is Harvard's CS50.
> Charge daily or weekly, not hourly.

This can work for the provider of a service, in certain circumstances.

But my opinion is that it is always better to charge a price that reflects the value delivered, no matter how long it takes to deliver that value.

There is a (possibly apocryphal) anecdote I read once in which a consultant was brought in to service a machine with many parts. He replaced one part and invoiced (say) $10,000 for replacing a part worth $1. When asked why his bill was so high, he said: "I charge $1 for the replacement part. The other $9,999 is for knowing which part to replace."

As knowledge workers, those who are skilled must remember that "hours spent sitting in a seat" is not a valid measure of their productivity and should not permit clueless managers/clients from judging them in that way.
If magic was real, we'd figure out how it worked, and then it'd be 'science' and you'd call it boring. We've figured out how to fling ourselves across oceans, how to communicate with people in real-time when they're not in earshot, and can even replace a person's heart and lungs in one go and keep them alive.

"Magic" is what we call it when we're ignorant of how something works, and how once you know how a magic trick is done, it's not interesting anymore as a mystery.

As for working for most of your life... so what's new? Ever since we settled down, working all your life has been the norm. Being alive requires work - if someone's not doing it for you, you have to do it yourself.

Why do you need so long on a single charge? Even on my non-smart watches I take them off at some point during the day(those ones normally for sleep).

With my Apple watch I take it off in the morning while I get ready and stick it to the charger and by the time I'm done it's ready for another day.
don't they already attempt to do that though? i don't consider $7/month a large fee. (granted, they could probably get more subscribers at $3-5, but i'm assuming they landed on $7 for a reason)

straight to the point.

When we say we are interested in immortality, people say that's because of the 'fear of our own death'.

Sorry, but it's wrong.

When something is inevitable (given our current technology, it is) there is no need to be afraid.

However, when it becomes evitable, then it is time to fear. People are are brainwashing themselves because they find the prospect of their own mortality intolerable make me think they know we we will eventually have the technology, so try to feel better for living in the wrong time and place.
To expand on this..

You could use $exists, $gt, $eq, $ne, $in, $nin, regex, and all kinds of other ways to query what you want.

If the programmer wanted to exclude "secret projects" the query should have had a form similar to

{ $and: [{ type: { $ne: 'secret projects' }}, <rest of query>] }
Sorry, not in this field. Science is having enough of a hard time lately as it is, it doesn't need anyone who has such disrespect for honesty and truth anywhere near it.

This one needs to be categorical. In fact I would support civil or even criminal prosecution, for misuse of public funding if there is any government money behind their fraudulent research.

In my mind, this is "white collar" crime, pure and simple. The repercussions should be life-changing.

Traversing the Mauritanian Sahara on the world's longest bulk train (2015)
I must admit to being a fan of the python approach. My example code above is obviously "wrong", and is immediately so in Python. In other languages it is valid, and then brings a burden for a reader of trying to determine why the indentation doesn't match the intent. Since code is read a lot more than it is written, that seems like pointless complications for no real benefit.
Who said what inside the Trump tech meeting
From Wikipedia: "A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent."

I'm probably what you would describe as 'pro-death'. But I would never have made any of the arguments you listed.

I could just as easily frame your positions to suit my argument.

For example; 'More people make more progress faster.' (India has not made as large a contribution to modern technology as the USA)
Yeah, especially with the front drive ones!

The prices look similar where I live. The only thing AT&T has in their favor here is that their ceiling is higher: You can get 1Gbps (at least in name) for around $90.
By that logic because we have extended life expectancy with hygiene, education, medicine and global transport that we should be producing less resources per person.

Lets look at food for example: https://ourworldindata.org/food-per-person/

Well that clearly isn't the case... Something subtle must be wrong with your clearly intuitive observation. I think the cost of educating and raising the next generation to the point where they are productive and having them to relearn the lessons of those that died early is simply more costly than what it takes to support an aging population.

Public folders becoming private on March 15 for Dropbox Basic users
I got the announcement via email and couldn't find it online. Note: you already can't render HTML from your public folder. And you may not even have a public folder if you weren't grandfathered in.

From the email:
We’re always looking to improve the Dropbox sharing experience. The Public folder was the first sharing method we introduced, and since then, we’ve built even better ways for you to share securely and work together with your team.

As a result, we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Basic users will be able to use the Public folder until March 15, 2017. After that date the files in your Public folder will become private, and links to these files will be deactivated. Your files will remain safe in Dropbox.

If you’d like to keep sharing files in your Public folder, you can create new shared links. Just make sure to send the new URLs to your collaborators.

In addition to shared links, we have a number of sharing options designed to make collaboration easier and give you more control. To learn more, visit our Help Center.

Not sure if this will help anyone out there, but learn how to take notes efficiently first. Learning a markup language helps a lot. Be very selective when choosing a book; don't hesitate to throw away a crappy book. Avoid books geared towards getting you "up and running" despite their reviews, they're never worth it. The more sources the better. The only subjects I don't spend time on are non-core API methods; just take note that there is an API and where it is, but referring to the official documentation is better because there's never much you can add of value. Ultimately plan on spending 6-9 months of weekends or 2-3 solid months to learn the bulk of a new language if you're taking notes. If it's your first programming language picking a simple project to do is helpful because otherwise you won't know the "why".
I'm surprised that the author doesn't focus more on the other numbers (the burn numbers aren't surprising to me - see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13190371). According to the author's data, GitHub had $25M in ARR in Sep'14. That's 2 years and 2 months after they announced their $100M round, so probably 28 months after they signed a term sheet.

If you calculate back from there, let's say $12M in ARR in Sep'13, $6M in Sep'12 and $4-5M in May'12 - that's insane (them raising $100M). Not sure if Bloomberg's data is correct but if we look at the other data points (probably same source data), $90M in ARR in Sep'16, it seems to be accurate.

Sep'12: $6M (assumed) -- raised $100M a couple of months earlier
Sep'13: $12M (assumed)
Sep'14: $25M (according to Bloomberg)
Sep'15: $50M (assumed)
Sep'16: $90M (according to Bloomberg)

How is Imgur making money ?
My friend's apartment has two Pokestops on the street just outside his porch window, about 30ft apart. When the craze was going on, there would be slews of cars stopping (in the middle of the road, a whole separate discussion there) for the Pokestops, but I haven't seen a single car stop there in some time, now.
I really hope GCP continues to do this with other types of syndicated public data feeds like American FactFinder, FRED, etc. They are missing a substantial audience that would see this as a killer app and compelling reason to move to GCP for this. The success of Enigma.io suggests there is a legit (although easily reproduced) business case here with minimal effort. Anyone who has ever worked to prep and integrate this type of data could now spend that time doing science.
I've covered a lot of Tom Wheeler's work in the last few years. He's probably the best FCC head in the past two decades. If he had a rep previously for being an industry shill, he blew it out of the water in his three years at the helm.

(Meanwhile, Michael Powell made the opposite move: He's currently in charge of the cable industry group.)

> If you're 30/40, odds are you have a family, roots somewhere, and maybe a mortgage. Your ability/willingness to move - especially after being out of work for a while - is near zero.

This is also true for someone like me as a recent grad with an older vehicle, a student loan to pay off, and lack of sufficient savings to move too far away from my hometown. One of the large issues of the education crisis that I don't hear being discussed is that a lot of students, like myself, often spend literally everything we have to get the degree after constantly hearing about success story after success story in the K-12 system. In these cases, it is implied that college is the only way to get ahead in life and we need to get there by any means necessary.

I mean, how the hell am I supposed to magically relocate halfway across the country (or even commute >50 miles away from my house on a daily basis) when the infrastructure doesn't exist and/or no benefits are offered besides "you should be glad that we're even paying you"?

But hey, I'm just a whiny millennial brat who should be glad that spanking/belt whipping is illegal.

50% of your lifetime medical cost occur in your last year of life. Old people aren't expensive, unhealthy and nearer death people are expensive. Delaying that last year of life by remaining robust is very profitable.

Clearly some peoples' handwriting sure. Good handwriting recognizers take advantage of stroke recognition, which you can't do by OCRing after the fact.

In addition my handwriting has become terrible. If I check my notes soon after writing them (within the same day) I can often tell by making out a few words and remembering what was being discussed when I was marking that part of the page :-(. A couple of days later I can barely understand them and longer than that I might as well forget it.

I could probably get by making random marks on the paper!

It's so sad, because when I was a scientist and had to maintain a lab notebook other people could easily read my notes (and they had to be clear for IP reasons). Or maybe I should look at it the other way: it's not sad, because it doesn't matter as much any more.
It is by a large margin. Those two wars might have fearfully awesome, but the fact that there are so many years of peace makes the 20th century the most peace Century we have completed: http://www.hsrgroup.org/docs/Publications/HSR2013/HSR_2013_P...

Add onto that on many levels both wars were enhanced by scarcity... Germany want more in both, the assassination of the Archduke was encouraged on by a poor economy, Hitler couldn't have rose to power without a major economic crisis, there were so many failings in production and trade that might have prevented or mitigate either war.

Not aging and not dying will certainly be an economic boon. People can work longer, experts can more deeply master their fields and there will be less loss in passing knowledge down to successors. So economic production will rise and almost certainly faster than it does with aging and death.

Then the emotional factors in war and death... If people stop dying and live to see one war, they just might carry those lessons for the rest of lives.

Comparing the costs of two renewables is like comparing the cost of a new Mercedes to a new BMW: both are great to have, but neither one is affordable for most of the world. "World energy" has not "hit a turning point," though this kind of misleading headline seems to be the norm at Bloomberg. One expensive thing became a little less expensive than the other expensive thing. It doesn't change the fact that in most of the world, neither solar nor wind is even remotely competitive with conventional sources. Hopefully they are one day, but today is not that day.
Part of the cost of most things you buy goes towards the energy costs invested in making that thing. Lower energy costs would lower the prices of most things you buy.
