I had a boss who was a decent manager, but not very technical. At first I hated her because she thought she could learn to be technical overnight, and wouldn't listen to our teams technical suggestions. Fast forward to a year later, and she was a great boss. She had given up on becoming technical overnight, and just referred to her technical employees instead.

I also had a boss who was very technical, but not a great politician or manager. It was nice being able to discuss the tech-side of things with him, but he didn't know how to get shit out of my way so I could get the job done. Nice guy, but I'd never want to work for him again.

I think a good boss knows their limitations, whether they be technical, political, managerial, etc. and knows how to delegate to the right people.
People communicating scientific knowledge to the general public need to become more responsible in talking about uncertainty. Scientists in certain fields need to as well. When people hear a bunch of scientific facts that later turn out to be false, they will stop believing the experts. This happens all the time with nutrition and health "facts." Today drinking red wine is good for you and next decade it's bad for you. Hear that enough and you stop trusting nutrition studies. Same with anything coming out of the fields with reproducibility crises. You stop trusting them. If we properly communicated the limits of and uncertainty around these ideas, people wouldn't say we're crying wolf. If we had different layman's language to denote a theory of bunk and the theory of evolution, people wouldn't say "but it's just a theory," and experts might regain trust. If people stop presenting "X affects Y in certain conditions for mice, maybe" as "X affects Y for all humans, definitely" then lay people might stop associating that level of trust to things like climate change. At the very least, it becomes more defensible.

He's promoting _jobs_, but also promoting pollution and cuts to healthcare, wages, and job safety.
First, there is a difference between a significance test and a null hypothesis significance test. The former was proposed by Ronald Fisher, the latter is something different that arose anonymously. See my other post for some links.

I'm suggesting that people who do NHST would encourage more funding to go towards others who do NHST, while also making policy decisions based off of it. At least when politicians are mostly clueless about science they use intuition and common sense.
But how much money would you need to spend to keep the world out of trouble?

Especially if you don't have any political clout or an army to back it up.

Would donating $5 million really help in some catastrophic event? Especially when compared to the multi-billions that nations spend each year?
This is also one of those "discoveries" that raises the suspicion hairs on the back of my neck. Survivor bias will play large into this. In particular, people often assume teams that failed had failed members. That goes up to the leadership.

So, it is likely that people were happy on successful teams. This will be a post-hoc explanation for why they were successful. Which will also be a post-hoc for why the members are happy.

I want to give this research the benefit of the doubt. So, please take my post as an overly pessimistic view of the landscape. Hopefully this will help persuade me otherwise.

We won't know what Trumps policies do until 6 months to year from now.
What do you mean by gifted?
QI? Or just kids with better results at the exams?

In Germany, some schools, start to do the separation when kids have only 10 years old. It seems to me too much stress and it's not even effective, bc you do it having an exam in consideration. School is not everything, look at Einstein :)
For one, they can read and understand the significance of various scientific literature that is intended to shape their policy decisions. They also generally don't support people who spew falsehoods and bullshit.

Of course anyone can learn these skills, but so few do.

Trump is an idiot, Bill O'Reilly is smart. I don't like either.

Stay motivated by your love of writing software! It's a blast! Tests and tickets! Organizing the code! Fun! All you need is a passion for sitting for hours at a time every day at a computer and writing code! Weee!

It's all about passion for code! And hit your deadlines!

That last part is very important.
How other schools will suffer? Endowments from rich parents? Being rich does not mean your kid is smart and these gifted schools should be very selective to whom they admit.

So nominal stocks valuations are up. The real question is are valuations high or low.

None of them alone, but all of them together.
Nope, unless it's all automated and paired with high tariffs. But then you might only create tens of jobs per factory instead of thousands.
Streaming is the best approach (IMO), as long as the schools are large enough or homogeneous enough (or have appropriate intercollegiate relationships with nearby schools) to make it happen. If you can't make a full class of pupils of whom you expect top grades, then the range of abilities can be a bit too big.

You ideally need to be able to promote and demote, which means having at least one subject teacher per stream per year, so that pupils can shift between streams without timetable changes, and having small enough class sizes that the teachers can all cope with a few more being added (as well as possibly doing a bit of extra coaching to get a promoted pupil up to the level of the rest of the class).

Selective schooling as a norm can write talented kids off at age 11 if their talents aren't broad enough. Streaming means that children can still excel in their best disciplines even if they are lacking in others.
Let's see which regulations get cut first. So far, it's not the government contracting regulations.

Bonus: when Trump "freezes the size of Federal employment" do you think that will be match by a freeze in contracting, or a boost in crony contracts?

Markets don't crash from one independent event or even a few events. I think history has shown that.
However, any event may act as a catalyst for starting a chain reaction for a series of financial events each directly responsible for the following one.
the prediction is still bad. if the prediction can't predict that the market is irrational.
> Identity politics and strong liberal populations in universities has made it social suicide for anyone to admit they have any doubts about the Democratic party.

I don't think you understand the political terrain here at all. Bernie Sanders supporters of the "I have doubts about the Democratic party" variety were very, very well represented in universities during the last election.
Yes, I think this is an important point: They have 14 other developers to count on.

If you were the sole developer or on a super small 2-3 person team, I'd empathize with your reluctance more, though I'd still advise it's time to get out. It's not really that you owe the "company" anything; it's that you don't want to leave your teammates and friends in a terrible situation, etc. I get it.

But being a member of a fairly large team... nah man, you should feel zero, absolutely zero guilt about leaving, IMO. I would feel no negativity towards you as a teammate. If you are truly irreplaceable on a team that size, it's just another sign that this project is being mismanaged. GTFO! :)
Oh they add a REPL. I know the REPLs from other languages and I know Java. I doubt, that's going to be something I would ever have fun with.
I find it easier to start a change.org petition and then tweet about it. /sarcasm

When it is easy to communicate via a medium, it is also easy to ignore it. Synchronous means of communication have always had more credibility, but as this article infers, it is going away. Too many armchair politicians doing the bare minimum.
So you would rather restart the hiring process than wait another week?
From what I've read about the numbers this seems very costly.
Are you expecting to be able to go through the whole hiring process successfully with another person in 5 working days?
My best guess would be that you did not like the person that much but that is missing the point
Nobody's mentioned the San Andreas fault yet. Surely that's a pretty good reason not to fill a tunnel with people?

Or is a tunnel actually a much better place to be during an earthquake?
It's weird how people who claim to like exploring "edgy" ideas never doubt the concept of property. Rich students exist on the largesse of grad students, not the other way around; the institution they attend would not exist without them.
Because even pro-science republicans, if they win election, are going to be under pressure to caucus with and cooperate with the anti-science damn-near-Khmer-Rouge GOP.

I actually contacted 314 offering to run as a pro-science republican against my pro-science democratic congresswoman. I won't win, as her support is solid, but I'd perform quite nicely as a pro-science republican candidate to (I hope) shame the rest of the GOP.

If they change their minds, you may see me on the ballot.
Probably because many tail-recursive functions _rely_ on tail-call elimination working reliably. Without also having an unbounded call stack, disabling tail-call elimination will likely just cause your programs to crash.
Stress level is at 100% for sure.

In a giant corporation that is comfy and has 3 levels of middle management. I currently hate life and trying to find a new job.

Everyday I wake up to rejection letters reminding me that I can't find anything better. At least I can fall between the cracks sometimes at work, but ultimately it is will be spent on applying to new jobs.

Its getting harder to get out of the bed in the morning.
Lindbergh was a rabid anti-Semite and an apologist for fascism, but also relayed intelligence from his tours of German factories back to the administration --- motivated, in advance of 1938, by his concern that we'd be drawn into a war with Germany, which was a popular concern at the time.

It's hard for you to make the case that the inevitability of war with the Nazis was in the zeitgeist and that America as a whole supported Hitler.

As you point out, all this stuff needs to be understood in the context of the Great Depression, concerns about Communism, and the general acceptability of anti-Semitism at the time.

Your organizing principle is simple: don’t feed polarization, disarm it.

This is so important.

Samantha Bee can't stop making piss jokes about Trump. That's not going to win anyone over.

Nina Donovan's poem, recited by Ashley Judd at the Women's March, is brave and powerful. It is also polarizing. There is a line: "I’m not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust." That's not going to win anyone over.

Again and again, people are attacking Trump for the wrong reasons. Focus on the truly bad. Don't get hung up on his hair. It makes you look petty.

The core issue is not populism, its economic stagnation. 2008 came and showed the entire political and financial elite were swimming naked.
>If "progressive causes" == science backed causes, then go right ahead.

No, "progressive causes" will be whatever is in vogue in the party. So anti-GMO with labeling campaigns and leverage the scientists to cast doubt on their safety would be very possible. Perhaps it will be to convince people that science has shown that people with more money are evil and should be jailed based on the UC Berkley study with the BMWs.
How did you guess!?! Industrial espionage I say!
I don't know about today, but this was how it was when I was in high school around 1990 in the US. We had "basic", "college prep" and "honors/advanced placement" levels, plus some kind of level for the special-ed kids. However, it was only at the high school level (4 years just prior to college); before that, in the earlier grades, everyone was mostly lumped together.
There are lots of articles about how the stock market is affected by elections, but few about how the stock market affects elections. The up market didn't make Al Gore win, for example, but maybe if it were down he wouldn't have pulled it so close. Who knows? Maybe people were feeling so high from the market that they wanted the low-taxes guy because they were feeling rich.

0% right now because I'm not working.

I get stressed out when I need to work because I need money. And then I get work and money and I stress because of the work so I stop for a bit.

It's a poorly choreographed dance between wanting money and not wanting to work.
Because the negative effects are being used as an argument to support continued prohibition, when full-scale legalization could well cause a reduction in overall negative drug-related social effects -- both from reductions/moderations in worse-drug use (eg, alcohol), and from the negative effects of the criminal justice system.
A problem in long tunnels, is that accidents brings nightmare scenarios [1]. This is one of the reasons why cars are loaded on trains in the Eurotunnel. I also hope they do proper traffic simulations that take into account the Braess’ paradox.

My guess is that there are probably a host of other lower hanging fruits they may be able to take to reduce traffic before boring tunnels. One such thing is parking space markets, you wouldn't know, but a lot of the traffic in congested cities is actually caused by cars looking for parking.

Furthermore, In NYC, I believe traffic could be significantly reduced by simply enforcing violations for cars blocking intersections. At rush hours, some intersections on the roads leading to bridges and tunnels are constantly blocked by cars, trucks, buses etc.

A lot of the traffic can also be reduced by developing smarter traffic grids, where lights are not simply programmed on time intervals. And developing the unrealized potential of friendlier cities for bike.

In a lot of these ideas, the problems are not necessarily technical but rather governance.

Finally, self-driving cars will allow better carpooling and car-sharing.

What's your time horizon?

I typically just invest it all at once with no attempt to time the market.

If i'm really nervous, i might make 12 equal investments over a year. Again, no attempt to time the market.

The only time i've ever timed my investment based on the market is buying post crash. Getting a 3% return over a week was nice after the brexit slump.
Yes. My labeling is counter marketing against the Party (see, I just did it again), which does not reflect on you. Whereas you were actually derailing the argument being presented, first by monkeysphere bullying and then by shrinking the scope to a base emotional appeal. The mirror of "dead without Obamacare" is "death panels" - neither one makes for intelligent discussion.

So if you start on a piece of land you largely control, or can quickly get permits for, you could theoretically bore until where you need the next permit.

It's not quite that simple - you may largely control the land you're tunneling under/through, but when you remove a large amount of soil, the surround ground may shift or you can affect water tables and those can cause issues for adjacent parcels and structures. Spoil removal (meaning muck trains and/or dump trucks to haul away dirt) will also affect adjacent properties through dust and noise.

Unless he owns hundreds of acres of property, any tunneling activity will cause issues that will come up through the permitting process. And if he does down hundreds of acres of property, why not just build a surface road?
Why not? Sounds like the initial data load and indexing are done up front. Once you get past that to run the benchmark it's not clear that a quad channel ddr4 system would be saturated.

All of these people announced support for same-sex marriage after being elected, or after leaving public service. It seems unlikely that the republican party would run a new candidate that included support of gay marriage as part of their platform. Maybe I'm wrong though.
> everyman has a property in his person; this nobody has a right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hand, we may say, are properly his
- John Locke

Locke wrote this envisioning people producing a measured but fair output from their labor - growing food, making durable goods, etc - and the modest property and wealth that could be obtained from this effort. In modern times, the true value of goods and services is skewed drastically in favor of those that own means of production, increasing exploitation of those that don't. Locke saw the potential but then less fully realized problem of unlimited accumulation and concentration of property and wealth and he wrote the government should moderate this and more equally distribute wealth.

Allowing one to fully control their wealth may increase innovation, but there are downsides to this without some controls in place to control dangerous unchecked accumulation of wealth. I disagree with the premise that "smartphones and steam engines" are a justification for this because they improve the human condition. They improve it for some, at a huge cost to others.
>I'm all for changing parties from within, but with:

The Democrats were once pro slavery and the parties have effectively flipped positions of support for various things throughout the years. The parties change because people that try, not people that dig their heels in on their side that just got slaughtered in the election.
Weirdly the smart kid that started this thread claims that he decided to disrupt the class and "seek fulfillment in acting out" because he was bored, so even if you segregate by ability you'll find the same if they're not stimulated. Maybe the same solution applies for the kids you are talking about.
That's more on you than it is the language though. You can write obtuse write-only code in any language.

My point was that an increase in supply of new luxury apartments does almost as much to generate a renters market as an oversupply of new modest apartments, and it's way easier to get builders to do the former than the latter.

Hardware RNGs are freakishly hard to do well because they have lots and lots of failure modes.

All those Kickstarter HRNGs and "Maker RNGs" are far inferior to a well seeded software RNG if you need it for crypto purposes.

As an electronics project they are admittedly in the sweet spot of "not trivial", "still doable by many", "somewhat useful" and "sounds cool". I've been tempted myself a few times, but never went through.
The biggest problems with Python are packaging and distribution.

This quote makes no sense. Yes, they made a lot more money in Switzerland maybe which allowed them to travel, but the same perks can be applied to working in any Western European country (e.g. Germany).
