> I don't think anyone really expected the early 3.x releases to be used in production.

I see this as a huge red flag. Its ok, to break/experiment things until you reach 1.0. After that, the core development team must factor in the consequences of breaking backwards compatibility.
Kevin Murphy - Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective
I find the history of Atari and all things connected to it fascinating, but this was particularly insightful in terms of marketing to your audience:

"The reason for doing the animals, believe it or not, was not for the kids. It was meant to be a head fake for the parents. Kids are really smart at knowing how to play their parents. and the kids knew that if they said, 'I want to go to Chuck E. Cheese and play the games' the parents would just see themselves spending money. But if they said, 'I want to go see Chuck E. Cheese entertainment -- and it's free,' they'd be good to go," Bushnell said. "The other thing was that we wanted the parents to have something to amuse themselves while the kids were in the game room. If you listened to the dialogue, it was fun, edgy stuff, kinda like Toy Story, written as much for the parents as the kids."
I'm surprised nobody has scraped 100% of this and done OCR to make it all clearly documented and tagged.

Seems like a good grad school research project.
> Border entry points aren't legally in United States

Yes, they are.

> and you have absolutely no rights whatsoever, even if a US citizen, when at those locations.

Also incorrect, though there are a number of limitations in the practical application of generally applicable rights in the context of the border (and not just official "entry points".)
I think it actually plays both ways - it's a way for me to give them an idea of what I'm expecting.
It's standard. All people who are taken aside by customs in the US are given a standard form which asks for all passwords and keys for all devices they own. This is so they can immediately use the content on them to reject you from the country. It's presented to you in such a way that you are to believe you have no option but to fill out the form. You're offered the ability to talk to your embassy, but are told that is a useless opportunity that won't get you anything of value.
Evolution is part of life, while some bacterias adapt to the antibiotics there are other animals (fungus, bacterias,...) that try to compete with them, and usually they find the ways to kill each other. It is part of evolution, but evolution takes time, and discover this new mechanism also takes time. So by the time we discover a new antibiotic it can be too late for a lot of people.
> But this is really pathetic. to ban algebra. I would leave the country.

If mathematics education at the pre-university level is a priority for you then I'm not sure that leaving the country is the best approach.

The rights are applicable, the practical application is different. E.g., the protection against unreasonable searches and seizures is still present, but the fact of a border crossing itself is held to make nearly any search reasonable.
Numpy / scipy and scikit-learn are the only things that are holding me back. Apart from that, I think its just a matter of time golang will have similar libraries in its ecosystem. Afaik, for regular CRUD apps golang can pretty much replace whole of python with better performance (in terms of concurrency).
At the individual level, I've always thought of antibiotic misuse as (at least in some part) a symptom of our resistance to authority. People end their antibiotic course early (and then usually use the remaining pills another time) because, of course, they know better. I've run into people like this many times.

Now, perhaps doctors should take part of the blame for not explaining why you should finish your course of antibiotics, but users should take some of the responsibility too.

Since no one is explicitly saltating it, this only applies to non-citizens, right? What's the process when a U.S. citizen is "taken aside"? I would categorically tell them to fuck off. Do I face jail time instrad of refused entry?

The article mentioned Elizabeth Weise who I hadn't heard of, but just spent a good 30 minutes on her blog. It's excellent. Her "about" page summarizes why 1/3 of SF parents choose private schools. It's a pretty good proxy for why so many new parents move out before their kids are school age. She dug up another amazing stat: of all children born in San Francisco 1/4 will move out before kindergarten, 1/4 will go to private school and 1/2 will go to public school. The school district expects it's growth to be entirely from kids who live in public housing.

> using the "I have not done illegal drugs" checkbox on the entry documentation

What? I have lived and worked all over the world, travel regularly to a bunch of countries, and have never once seen this. I could have missed it on some less frequent countries, but certainly it's not on any major country's entry card.

So who was responsible for testing that the backups worked?

Sounds like it was equally a process failure (not verifying backups worked) as a technical one.

> I'd genuinely love to know if postgres is as reliable as Oracle. Not just in day to day use, but on that once in a blue moon occasion when you really need it to be.

If you follow best practices for postgres, have a streaming replica and streaming wal archiving (e.g. to barman) then I firmly believe it's basically bullet proof.

If the master shits itself you have the very latest transaction logs available on replica and point in time recovery servers.

Postgres also introduced support recently for native multi-master servers. This has been supported for a while by third party extensions like bucardo, but thanks to the work of 2nd quadrent there's now a multi-master implementation provided by postgres itself.

If you want a case study of a large business using postgres, look at Zalando (EU online clothing retailer) and their work with it.
The time for such explanations was long ago, back when TPP was being proposed, and people were providing detailed arguments against it.

I won't claim any kind of expertise on the non-tech-related effects of TPP; I'm not an expert in international trade.

With respect to copyright, patent, and trademarks, however: I really don't care about "investors" who want to make other countries follow more draconian regimes in those areas. There's a happy medium between "zero acknowledgement of foreign copyrights at all" and "ridiculously excessive copyright laws"; ditto for patents and trademarks. TPP just directly exported the US's ludicrously excessive copyright, patent, and trademark laws, complete with DMCA-like provisions and criminal (not just civil) penalties. Those terms at a minimum needed fixing, and I think the people arguing against TPP in its current form on those grounds alone were right to do so.

"Have you ever violated any law related to possessing, using or distributing illegal drugs?"

"Do you have a physical or mental disorder; or are you a drug abuser"

It's also on the customs forms for New Zealand, where you're asked along with questions about any drug paraphernalia you might be bringing in. They seem to be much more concerned about fruit than people slipping through with a bong though. Only country I've ever been set upon by fruit sniffing dogs.
If you think about it, all natural language generation is simply picking from a list of possible words to go next. They just do that at a sentence level.
The issue is that it needs to be a global solution. Just changing the rules in the US won't prevent them from being abused in other countries.
>and have met more people who are proud of having made that transition than those who retain a deep loyalty to the kind of people they left behind

This is the part that angers me the most when I see it because these are the people who should know that the world isn't limited to just the people who have some set of things in common with themselves yet when they don't but have such an obvious example in their own lives it's frustrating.
Non US citizens. Ask a lawyer.
The article tries to pin the phenomenon on high housing prices, Google, Twitter, etc but the numbers aren't really there. The big drop in the percent of families with children in SF happened between the 1970 and 1990 census. In 1970 24% of households had children, then 19% in 1980, 19% in 1990, and 19% and 16% in the subsequent decades. The share of children in the population had already fallen from 25% to 15% by 1990, and is down to 13% today.

All of that happened before software was even a thing in this region, when the major industries were defense and semiconductors. And it happened regardless of housing prices going up or down.

People, or most people atleast, dont have kids for biologically progressing their clan. They have kids because it brings them emotional fulfillment and happiness. Its gives people a sense of family. So even though it makes little raw economic sense, it makes lot of sense if you start valuing your happiness and your happiness depends on a sense of family.
What do you do, just walk back and forth between Temescal and Uptown? If you look at the actual numbers, 21% of Oaklanders are children and 25% of households include a child.

Great analysis! Have you heard of the Birkman personality assessment? One of the components it measures is exactly what you describe (they call it Esteem).

It doesn't make you an asshole (intent) not to know that, but it does make your interactions less effective to not work "with the grain" of that dynamic.

At our company everyone takes the Birkman and we train everyone on how to leverage the knowledge it provides on your personality style and how that intersects with others' style. Whenever you're having trouble in an interpersonal interaction with someone, you can think about / looks at the profile and tweak your approach to improve things. It had been incredibly effective for making it easier, more effective, and more pleasant to work with others.
"Why would a city actually want kids?"

"School districts want kids for the same reason start-ups want customers: it's hard to scale with smaller demand."

"I know you don't like sitting next to a table full of kids at a restaurant. Me neither. But children are necessary components of a thriving community"

I believe in capitalism, i'm not sure if this is representative of SF (never been) but this hyper capitalism with no soul/morals/religion where everything is a transaction, an asset, a business is simply scary and starting to feel like Logan's Run.

It was pretty clear to me:

"Mr. Trump’s digital team used [individually targeted] posts to serve different ads to different potential voters, aiming to push the exact right buttons. [...] A pro-gun voter whose Ocean score ranks him high on neuroticism could see storm clouds and a threat: The Democrat wants to take his guns away. A separate pro-gun voter deemed agreeable and introverted might see an ad emphasizing tradition and community values, a father and son hunting together."

Elite results do not say much about average education. UK also scored high on olympiad, but average UK public school is much worse compared to Central Europe.
the fact that nobody can understand without a preposition and a pronoun even after you replaced the uncommon words with common ones tells me this is a bunch a buffalo excrement that barely entertain linguist phds.
Another big reason is the lack of financial incentives for companies. A lot of new antibiotics are for very small populations (you'll only use a new antibiotics for the rare cases of drug resistance).

As a result, drug companies are looking at spending $100M to make a new drug, when they'd be lucky to make their money back on it.
Those toolkits often rely on generics/duck typing, and tend towards very simple REPL style exploration.
Came here to see the anti-Trump crowd justify why this is bad (after spending years railing against the TPP). Was not disappointed.
To play devil's advocate, since this doesn't seem to get mentioned often:

1. People ending their antibiotic course early is a drop in the ocean compared to the abuse of antibiotics in agriculture.

2. The advice to finish the course was coined back when GPs did house calls. Now, if you use up all your current supply, what do you do next time you get sick? By the time you know you need an antibiotic, you're not going to be well enough to hump your arse across town to petition a doctor for a prescription. The official answer might be to call an ambulance, but the ambulances and hospitals are hopelessly overloaded already, and that's nevermind the situation in the US where a hospital visit can bankrupt you even if you have insurance.

general antibiotics have never lasted more than 18 months before we found a bacteria that became resistant to them

But this doesn't mean the drug won't be used. Drug resistance rates are often in the single percent of patients. You can have resistance out there, but still have a huge market.

In my opinion the more self-centered view is going around doing exactly what you want without any concession to how it affects other people.

I regularly think about whether my actions are bothering anyone else. It's the opposite of self-centeredness, and something that many modern parents fail to do.
Yes, but I think I see the analogy.

The problem is the commercial model for funding and research, as a new antibiotic is guaranteed to be a commercial failure, and the risks are high.

If EU, US and maybe the Chinese funded research - both universities but also in some way that it would be economically interesting for commercial entities, there would be new drugs.
You're totally right. Your industry definitely contains the worlds smartest people by nature and everyone else is second-rate and would be laughed at if they tried to work in Silicon Valley.

List of native clients for SocketCluster
I think you're reading it wrong there; this is not a statement of "3.0 came out and then they kept breaking compatibility all the time until 3.3", it's a statement of "3.0 declared what the changes were so people could play with the new APIs, and then 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 spent time on performance and making porting easier so that people could actually port to and deploy on later 3.x releases".

This premise is going to turn out to be entirely incorrect.

There's a wave of therapeutic approaches to antibiotic resistance coming in the next 10-15 years, courtesy of CRISPR (gene editing broadly). We're going to end up having hundreds of new experimental angles of attack at resistance and infection. In fact, by far the bigger problem, is going to be narrowing down the vast array of options of attack that CRISPR is going to unleash.

These articles repeating the same hyped up fear, are missing what's right around the corner (which usually happens with such statements of doom, ala the world running out of food claims from decades ago). And best of all it's going to be inexpensive, relatively speaking, and extremely fast paced, to make progress in that direction. Cas9 and its superior alternatives such as Cpf1 arrived just in time.

Agreed. The problems with selling trade agreements is that the benefits (while real) are diffuse while the drawbacks are felt more severely by a small part of the population. It's entirely rational for US manufacturers to be against trade deals, and indeed a lot of such people have a lot at stake. However the benefits of cheaper goods while shared by vastly more people (including those not yet entering the workforce) is harder to notice.

With some exceptions (biologics) you're right on copyright, and I'd agree. However this only tempers my support of what I consider to be an important geopolitical move.

Interesting to see this researched, but I think this isn't really applicable to most people's situation at home, where there's 1-3 access points, and most often you just want to connect to a specific one. Then you don't really need software telling you that connecting will be slow, because you know, but you just want to connect.

Besides, in my experience, having a lot of wifi interference is a huge PITA when connecting or communicating with an AP. Maybe they were not able to include that factor in their dataset for some reason, but I think you'd find a strong (negative) correlation.
The ultimate goal is to build an interpreter that can run both Python 2 and 3 code.

That is a great goal, I fully support you.

so anyone who wants to write an interpreter that can run both kinds of code will need to decide what to do there

Even if the interpreter has to decide, "this file is python2, it will do it one way.....that file is python3, it will do it another way" that is good enough. As long as you can call functions and such between the two files.

People don't like a wildcard. Trump's broken promises are a little more than slight exaggerations. At this point I have to wonder if it's possible for him to lie in a way he hasn't already which will lead his supporters to recognize it as more than hyperbole. My guess is that it's not about what he says, but whether they feel he is acting in favor of their interests or not - which is really a totally different matter.

He just stood up in front of the CIA and claimed that he had more people than any Inauguration. In reality, he had less than half. The man has 0 integrity. It's not just one thing, it's everything he says. Hillary had a public and a private position - he's got so many positions his words mean nothing.

Yes, he really does seem to be behind reducing immigration. Yes, I can guess that when he stood up and told Silicon Valley's CEOs he was going to remove the borders and trade restrictions, he was probably lying. But in the end, the details are what matter, and for him to violate every single thing he says in favor of vague wishy-washy nonsense is not someone I can trust as President.

China for example is by far the world's largest abuser of antibiotics [1]. The average person in China is taking ten times the amount of antibiotics annually that the average person in the US takes (and when you consider the number of people in question, it's that much more staggering). You're spot on, in that it's a dramatic challenge, figuring out how to convince a nation like China to tamp down on that given the scale involved (eg a billion people being commonly prescribed antibiotics for a normal cold).
