Manning made some very haphazard attempts to contact journalists within the span of a day or two, seemed highly frustrated when she didn't get a response right away, and declared the matter impossible and gave up.
Excellent effort! However, it also introduces a _major_ security hole:

The Electron Desktop App simply loads an index.html which points at remote JavaScript. That's crazy dangerous - if that endpoint gets compromised, nothing keeps the attacker from running `rm -rf /` on every user's machine.

I'm a member of the Electron maintainers group and fully realize that this is partly on us for not educating better. Remote code should never run with full privileges - consider using a `webview` instead, which can be sandboxed.
nvALT is open-source! It's a fork of Notational Velocity, on the developer's GitHub: https://github.com/ttscoff/nv

I think my job is similar to yours. My background is in engineering at an industrial manufacturing plant.

I have some of the same issues. The Engineers here tend to reach for spreadsheets first (or Access databases - these things are everywhere at my work) and inevitably they run into scaling problems and end up with a huge bloated mess. I step in to re-architecture these monstrosities (using "real" databases when necessary).

The other big part of my day to day work is modelling and data analysis. Usually regression based stuff and LP optimization problems (SAS is very good for this) especially around yield and quality control. The venerable excel "solver" plugin is often abused very heavily by engineers and is not always the ideal solution.

The person who I took over from was a Stats guy and the original job title was "Process Statistician" my boss has since retitled my role "Data Management Engineer". I still think of myself as an engineer first and foremost and a "data" person second.

I use SAS heavily. We have kind of gone in the opposite direction to you. I have rewritten some of our models in the past from C++ into SAS mostly for ease of maintenance because SAS is better understood by the non programmers (Most of the Engineers here do not have a programming/CS background and those that do tend to either know Fortran or Visual Basic very few grasp C/C++ very well). Speed is not really any issue but opaqueness and ease of maintanece is.

I'd like to learn R because I have heard it is very similar to SAS but more transferable to outside companies. Julia is the other language I've got my eye on I have heard it is somewhat similar to MATLAB which is used for some modelling work here.
Big fan of the approach. Would be a lot easier to use IMO if you could live edit in Markdown rather than having to toggle back and forth between preview mode and editing.

Also curious how hard it would be conceptually/architecturally to introduce federated sharing and realtime collaboration concepts while maintaining the data-centric approach; e.g. if all docs had GUIDs you could imagine having realtime collab if two people agree on the same server, (or I guess some much crazier P2P discovery thing if you want to get really wild with it).

Who installed the in-law unit, the tenant, or the owner?
This follows from basic computer science. (Something I increasingly find Bitcoin advocates handwaving away.) If decentralisation were more efficient than centralisation, systems aiming for efficiency would naturally centralise; this is not what we observe.

The decentralisation is stupendously inefficient, Proof of Work is 47kg of carbon per transaction literally wasted, and it all centralises anyway - the code is controlled by just a few people, the mining is controlled by four miners (and there is no guarantee they are owned separately), most of the mining is in one country and 75% is about to be in one building.

Bitcoin decentralises things that don't need to be decentralised, wastefully, then naturally recentralises anyway.

You know, I really should add a post soon about algorithms, papers, and textbooks. You make an important point which the first responder highlighted, "avoiding the destruction of business value by misapplying ML/statistics."

I understand the math behind what I do, but it's not a fair assumption to think that everyone reading my post will be motivated to pick up and understand the math before they start applying the tools.

Especially with tools like scikit-learn and orange, it's especially easy to misapply ML and statistics or simply approach a problem without understanding the tools and come out with something that looks plausible to the untrained eye.

Key to the reason that you should understand your tools, including the math that underlies them, is that you should be able to look at the results of your work and know if there's something "off". And beyond that the underlying understanding of the math involved gives you the tools you need to debug.

Interesting is one word for that, given the main thesis that venture capital is universally to blame for the failure of centralized things we rely upon (with zero evidence to support this assertion), and that building another centralized service with less functionality is somehow the better answer. Speaking personally, I completely rely upon PDFs and images and things accompanying my notes because of the nature of the work I do (I have about 4,700 pages of research and almost a gigabyte of imagery all tied together in a Scrivener project for a single piece of work, for example), and the frozen feature set so proudly advertised smacks of "people need to take notes exactly the way I do," which is an immediate turn-off for me. That it's taken further and somewhat arrogantly called "standard" notes really chills me on liking this product at all, given that it completely and intentionally omits useful things to a lot of people -- including me. Then there are extensions, of course, pushing out all the useful features to extensions which will work even less over time.

Maybe some people will like this, but the motivations and decisions just seem ill thought out so far, particularly when it's "VC is going to kill Evernote, so you should rely upon a hostname I personally administer instead and you get exactly what I give you" as the main call to action when I go to the page.
> An owner of a property not subject to rent control should be free to raise rent to any amount.

They are free to raise the rent to any amount. They just are limited in doing that for the purpose of forcing the tenant to move out so that the owner can move in, and avoiding payment to the tenant that would otherwise be required under the owner-moves-in rules.

> If I want to charge you $900,000 per second to rent my house, I am free to, and you are free to not rent it then.

Sure, but if you do that to get me to move out so you can move in, where there are OMI rules, you still have to make the OMI payment. Or, better, don't bother with the pretext and just make the payment.
You sure jumped to Nazi comparisons rather quickly.

We want to do something like this through extensions. The goal of this app is to last really long, so it has to stay simple, otherwise bloat, debt, and inevitable abandon ensues.

It's not really whistle blowing though if you find evidence of 1 crime and then then choose to release 700,000 unrelated other documents with it. It is just a crime. During the trial the defense didn't even pretend that this was whistle blowing.

Also, intention is relevant in criminal law. Was the intention to right a wrong or to throw a depression induced tantrum? There was a substantial amount of evidence on this matter.

The large companies keep that gravy train rolling. If they don't do refreshes, people walk after their last vesting event.

> That single family home was no longer under the rent control laws, enabling the owner to jack up the rent

Unreasonable rent increases to circumvent OMI rules are generally prohibited in such rules (since they are the most obvious way to effect an eviction pretextually), which are independent of rent control rules. The legal issue here was the OMI rules, not rent control, so the illegality of the other unit or the change in rent control status is irrelevant.

> 400k seems egregiously high, and designed to pander to populist opinion rather than any reasonable interpretation of the law.

It's not a 400k award, it's a 400k settlement, which means that the owner clearly thinks that the actual award that survived all appeals plus the cost of litigation (including the cost in the owners time) would be at least that much.

> there are uses of blockchains outside mainstream industries.

I have seen zero actually feasible use cases for blockchain outside cryptocurrencies, and those only have a use case for illicit transactions.

The usual proposal I see put forward for non-cryptocurrency blockchains is a general coordinated database of everything in an industry, so all players can see what's happening.

The problem here is having common data standards at all, which is not a problem that storing it in a blockchain will solve.

The first barrier to common data standards is business models built on obscurantism; the second is that nobody wants to make the body setting the standard into the natural monopoly it will become, which is not a problem that a blockchain will solve.

The solution is for a player to come up with an open royalty-free data standard so naturally compelling that everyone adopts it, and eventually your regulator says "you know what, use this one."

This does not involve a blockchain.
Yes, I really do not like that this polluted my google watched history.
They're not use cases, they're failure modes.

From what I've read, it appears the DNC directly violated their own bylaws by (strongly) preferring one candidate before the primary. Repeatedly and flagrantly.

If the DNC isn't even accountable to itself, how should American voters feel about them having control over the duopoly of private parties which are allowed to select presidential candidates? At best, their actions were revealed to be grossly unethical. At worst, criminal.

I did some research with Novec back in high school, really interesting stuff. It was a hassle to get my hands on, but after going through a chemical supplier that actually flew out a staff chemist to ensure my high school had proper facilities to handle the vapors from Novec I purchased 1 gallon haha. Here's a video summary of my project, essentially just comparing efficiency differences between immersion cooling and air cooling with server hardware. https://vimeo.com/37127378 (Yes, I know the "efficiency savings" numbers at the end are incorrect)

One of the coolest attributes of Novec 7000 (now outdated haha) is that it's viscosity is so low near it's boiling point that it can actually slip through teflon gaskets and even dissolve thermal paste between a CPU and heatsink.

Not sure if Zack Glander is still running Vapor Phaze, but back in 2011 his startup was one of the only private companies I knew of developing hardware to use this cooling tech at scale. He had some cool demos at CES for a few years.
Thanks for clarifying, I had no idea what they were referring to in that case.

The "post-fact" issue is one thing; convincing people and changing minds is another.

As for the latter, I highly recommend reading Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind". And keeping in mind that a big part of convincing others is keeping yourself open to having your mind changed.

Going back to the post-fact issue: people are rarely convinced based on evidence or facts alone to change their mind, so in some sense the facts are secondary. That said, finding a common ground of ideas or facts to agree upon is important. Figuring out how to find this common ground is an important skill. This is what I think the crux of "post fact" comes down to. And a lot of this means granting people the benefit of the doubt, engaging in good faith, and refusing to let yourself get dragged into "point-scoring" and other lesser forms of argumentation.
But this is a problem of definition. Not including those deaths isn't any more accurate, it just under-counts suicide deaths.

How do we know those were non-intentional? Coroners (for a variety of reasons) are cautious about declaring a death as suicide, and so there will be a number of suicides in the non-intentional overdose deaths.

The article is at least being clear on what it's counting as suicide, and that definition is close to some other well respected sources. For example, the UK's Office for National Statistics used this:

"includes deaths from intentional self-harm (where a coroner has given a suicide conclusion or made it clear in the narrative conclusion that the deceased intended to kill themselves) and events of undetermined intent (mainly deaths where a coroner has given an open conclusion) in people aged 15 and over."

but now uses this:

"The National Statistics definition of suicide includes all deaths from intentional self-harm for persons aged 10 and over, and deaths where the intent was undetermined for those aged 15 and over. This definition was revised in January 2016 and further information on the impact can be found in the 2014 suicide registrations bulletin."

You either under count, or over count, death by suicide. Since suicide is under reported by coroners, and it's a leading cause of preventable death, it makes some sense to over count it. The UK uses different counts for people under 15 because homicide is more likely than suicide in that age group.

The only correct use of the singular-they is as "a pronoun of choice for someone who doesn’t identify as either male or female." You could use singular-they for "a person whose gender isn’t known or isn’t important in the context," but strictly speaking that would be grammatically incorrect.
