I'm with you there. I have YouTube Red because it's included with Google music.

The absolute garbage that they have in YouTube Red is so prominently forced on top of everything else. Things that I'm sure they have the data to prove I'm not interested in.

What shocked me the most about it is that it seems that's the kind of content that gets big on YouTube. Which is fine, I don't mind them subsidizing YouTube with that. But it is annoying for them to try to force that and prioritize it over my subscriptions. So much so that it has turned me off some from YouTube. Thing is, they probably don't mind, I don't think I make them any money, I'm not the audience they want.
I'm gonna be so happy when this company dies.
The idea that sitting is bad and standing is good completely misunderstands the recommendations related to sedentary behaviour. What is required to combat the above-mentioned ailments is frequent "translocation of the trunk" - i.e. moving your body. Standing still in one spot all day definitely is not good for you... it can lead to plantar fasciitis, varicose veins and lower back pain amongst many other problems. You only need to speak to middle aged people who worked standing all day (e.g. factory workers) to know its not the solution.

I feel - based on evidence I've read over the years - people should consider saving the money and hassle of a standing desk by doing the following: get up every hour (30mins may be the latest recommendation now if i recall correctly); stand when on calls; walk on your lunch breaks; set up your workstation well; establish good posture; don't sit in the same position for too long.

Emacs with dvorak is almost more natural than with qwerty. C-x, C-c using the left pinky for control and the right pointer and middle fingers for x and c (respectively) feels much better to me than using the left hand in a chorded arrangement like in qwerty.

There are others though I'd have to think for a bit longer to list them all. In many cases my hands just seem to flow better.

NB: I was a touch typist with QWERTY (got to about 60wpm) before switching to Dvorak (peaked around 120wpm, around 100wpm these days). I do not attribute the increase to Dvorak specifically, but to literally not being able to see what letter I was pressing so I truly become a touch typist.

It's not a misconception. If you need to store timeseries and actually do something substantive with them (time oriented joins; calculating bid-ask spreads, order book math, correlation matrices, calculating betas), Postgres won't cut it, even on a relatively small data set, like all the OCHL daily stock market data for the last 30 years. Neither will any of the other open source solutions.

It's a general state-wide requirement in Maryland, for example. See http://coursebulletin.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/Home/Introduct... for reference.

And that's been the case for at least 20 years now.
Additionally, the previous restrictions specified they were to be inoperable when BOTH above 18,000m altitude (not 10,000 ft) AND 515 m/s velocity.

Many manufacturers accomplished this by restricting operation when either condition was sensed, but you could find some that could be used in applications that only violated one condition, like high-altitude balloons.

I meant secure routers on customer premises, ones that are resistant to attacks from at least the network side. That was the big problem with the latest round of DDOS attacks.

I remember coming across it fairly heavily in react/redux stuff, mostly because it makes dealing with redux's stores a lot simpler if you avoid nested structures like that.

Being smart helps stack the deck in your favor, but it is neither necessary nor sufficient. Ben Carson and Steve Harvey are both rich, but I wouldn't consider either of them particularly smart.
I wonder what the largest cause of this is. Two ideas come to mind:

1. We just don't have access to pre-contact North America. We weren't there to write about it, they didn't write about it, and we don't have a lore lineage because we're not part of the culture.

2. Considering what happened, it's more convenient to think that we didn't really destroy anything much and we "brought culture to the savages" and made things better.

Afaik much of Africa suffers from the same sort of problem.
Most of the arguments in this comments sections are outdated. The same goes to the 'Buffet argument'. Most of the funds (after 2008) run with High-Watermark rule. Thus, in the case of your Scenario 2, fund will get nothing from the next 300 million it makes (apart from fixed fees). Thus, the investor will end up with 294 million at period 3. Just like if the fund made 100 million for 3 periods consequently.

U2F Extension for Safari
I'm going to disagree with you there and prefer the "naive way". This is the clear and explicit way to express your intent. Personally, I'm a big fan of a few more lines for more clarity (within reason), and not a fan of unique, language-specific incantations like comprehensions just for the sake of syntactic sugar.

An implicit coding style that requires the reader to look up the semantics of Python's comprehensions (and also makes it harder to unwind/inject debugging/keep line lengths reasonable) is a negative unless you're gaining something besides brevity.

I understand some claim that comprehensions are faster for various reasons, but this is presumably implementation dependent and shouldn't be assumed unless you know it's the case in your implementation. I also understand that the generator expression uses less memory, but the generator version can be written the long way too:

def test_bar(bar):
for foo in bar:
if meets_some_condition(foo):
yield transform(foo)

do_something_with(test_bar(bar))

I know that Python is pretty reasonable but I don't like starting the descent down into the alphabet-soup madness that we get in a lot of other languages.
The problem is that, unlike atomic bombs, we can't calculate and make predictions of what will happen, because we would need precisely the same machines that are required to make higher-than-human intelligence. Therefore we don't know, we can't know, so we should at least understand the risks with the best of our very limited understanding, to at least be somewhat prepared when we are able to predict the possible distaster shortly before it happens.

I agree with the problem you raise and I don't have a good solution to the problem. This may invalidate my position.

However, per Kahneman, possibly some modes of thought are more susceptible to bias and to a greater magnitude than other modes of thought. This might allow for one to examine certain beliefs or actions based on one mode of thought with a higher degree of accuracy and lower susceptibility to bias than others.

This is getting off topic from the OP, but you raise an important issue that I think about often but don't have a good answer for. Thanks for the critical discussion.
Car Brands Ranked by Owner Satisfaction – 2016 – Consumer Reports
FWIW communities coming together in times of emergency is a pretty universal experience, not unique to the US in the 1940's (the UK's home front experience during WW2 [1] is cited as an example most often I think). A book I've been meaning to read for a while is "A Paradise Built in Hell" by Rebecca Solnit. From the Washington Post review [2]:

"Her book is worth reading for its storytelling alone. But what makes it even more fascinating is Solnit's demonstration that disasters give rise to small, temporary utopias in which the best of human nature emerges and a remarkable spirit of generosity and cooperation takes over. 'Disaster,' she writes, 'along with moments of social upheaval, is when the shackles of conventional belief and role fall away and the possibilities open up.' People suffering unimaginable misfortune often revert not to savagery but to an almost beatific selflessness, comforting themselves in extremis by aiding others. Solnit cites many examples of those who remember a disaster as, paradoxically, one of the great moments of their lives. The reaction is similar to that of some who recall the Great Depression as a time of spiritual and social richness."

>In 1977, the victim was raped and robbed by two men, both whom she knew from her neighborhood. She identified them to the police as the children of women in the neighborhood Polly and Ollie Mae, and gave their addresses. The men were Lawrence McKinney and Michael Yancy. Police found both of them together at Michael Yancy's house, Yancy was watching TV and McKinney was hiding in the closet. They gave alibis for each other, claiming they had been there all day. Both were convicted of rape and burglary. This was a very reasonable conviction given the evidence against them.

This scares me a bit. The only witness is the victim (who was obviously under extreme stress). The other two people each claim the other as an alibi. Without something more compelling (e.g. scratches on the attackers, or a fingerprint at the scene or another second eyewitness), I don't understand how a single persons word can send someone to prison for life.

WW3 HILARY'S DEAD DUCK IN WATER NOW
It's astonishing to me that I hit Ctrl-F and searched for "sandbox" and "software compartmentalization" and there are no hits in that doc.

Chrome-like sandboxing seems like the current state of the art, and it's complementary to all the techniques mentioned. There will be vulnerabilities, but making attackers chain vulnerabilities to get into the system will have the effect of "dramatically reducing them".

I don't see any numbers in that paper either, which seems like a big oversight.

Chrome has proven to be more difficult than other browsers to exploit, and this is with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. I think the Pwn2Own escape in 2016 required the attacker to chain 4 exploits. I don't think people hacking servers need 4 exploits today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn2Own

The browser is operating under a more extreme environment than a server: it contains tens of millions of lines of C++ code, and it exposed to attackers (web sites) by billions of people continuously throughout the day.

This is also the solution that doesn't require rewriting hundreds of millions of lines of code, which is an economic impossibility in the short term.

There is some current research on how to help programmers split programs into trusted and untrusted parts, e.g.:

It's so strange how history touches on Christopher Columbus and then immediately jumps to the Mayflower even if you take honors-level history courses in High School. I incidentally learned more about pre-Colombian NA from an intro art history course and an intro religious studies course I took my senior year of college than I did in my entire education up until that point.

It's kind of crazy that most people I know believe that Europeans showed up to an almost entirely empty content, and were like "Oh hey, free land." I learned about Squanto at some point, but I never learned the reason why he spoke English is because he was kidnapped by an English explorer and brought back to Europe. Or that he managed to work his way back to North America and found his tribe had been wiped out by a plague, and that this plague was a huge part of why North America was so sparsely populated.

It's pretty frustrating, because teaching the land was just empty and unused is so far from the truth that it is basically propaganda.

These limits are set by the IRS[0]. As I understand it, if you're exercising vested options, you're fine as long as the value of the amount you exercise doesn't exceed $100,000. If you're early-exercising, though, your entire grant counts towards the total, because the IRS considers that all "early-exercise-able", even if you're only early-exercising one share.

However, I'm not a lawyer or an accountant, and this isn't legal or tax advice, so you should definitely seek advice from a tax attorney regarding this topic.
