If you show most of your customers a factory slaughterhouse chicken being killed and packaged, or a grass-fed truly free-ranging chicken being taken inside and killed and packaged, they will actually have a worse reaction to the second one.

Most people cannot really identify with thousands of chickens in a cage being processed by a machine - but they can identify with a single chicken happily running around outside being taken and killed. So paradoxically, the second image would actually be something they see as even more cruel.

Informing people about this has to be done in a very clever way to ensure that people don't connect the packaged breast they buy with the actual chicken running around outside. One slip up, and your label becomes worse than the factory chickens.

While the people who choose to come for a farm tour likely know what to expect, the 'average' consumer would not react in the same way to being told that they're eating this happy, free ranging chicken. As with all marketing, it's important to come from a position of your customer's lifestyle than your own where you 'know' about death.

To put it in a completely different context - think about Target and their new bathroom policy. On the surface it seems great, and everyone supports it. The label is wonderful and everyone wants to be part of that movement. But when it actually comes time to go to a bathroom, many women freak out and refuse to actually enter that bathroom anymore. It's even costing Target customers, and now pulling back the policy would cost them even more. Marketing isn't easy and you need to fully understand what you're doing before you end up creating a marketing campaign that actually harms your business.
Right!?

I heard about this damage a few days ago and thought it was interesting, but now I find out there's this huge conspiracy scene around it. Stuff like 'the gov't is in CYA mode and trying to downplay risk' to 'this is a false-flag attack to undermine Trump'.

It's just so weird that this seems to have people frothing at the mouth. How did so many collectively decide to adopt this narrative?
You should look at the dam from maps or satellite. The spillway is off to the side, away from the dam (clearly, by design), and the emergency spillway is on the far side of the main spillway from the dam, so while the spillway failing would be terrible it should not damage the dam itself.
You never learn faster or better than through making mistakes.
Factor the mistakes in, expect to make them and be prepared for them.

Mistakes/failures are just opportunities to learn a poignant point about how to do it better.

Reminds me of a James Comey quote on terrorism:

> As the Commissioner said, when we look back through our cases, in nearly every single terrorist case that we face in the United States, terrorism attacks in Chattanooga, terrorism attacks in San Bernardino, Ft. Hood, hatchet attack in Queens, when we look back through those cases, in nearly every single case, somebody saw something, somebody saw a turn, a change in behavior, either online or in person, and didn’t say something. That’s understandable in a way because there is a natural human tendency to write an innocent narrative over what we felt were the facts. Save yourself the trouble. He probably had a bad day. I guess I didn’t hear that right. Our request of the American people is don’t do that.

Someone hasn't heard of confirmation bias.

Thanks for the pointer to the video ("E to the Pi for Dummies" by Mathologer). It is definitely worth watching. Much more understandable, imho, than the one referenced at the top of this thread.

Your text summary of the video is accurate and likely makes sense to some people but not so much for others (namely, me).

Puppet DSL: back to the basics
There's less incentive on short term renters to respect the people around their rental. This leads to all sorts of bad behaviors.

That said, I think it's a question of "why do we have zoning laws". AirBNB gets to profit from encouraging people to break the law, while the rest of us have to live with the decreased housing supply. If we had fewer restrictions on getting long term supply in place, or more effective restrictions on AirBnBs, I think there'd be fewer complaints. Right now it's super one sided.

This passage from raptitude post always sticks in my head, comparing 2 mental approaches to a disgusting part of a cleaning job he was squeamish about, basically practice to feel & observe the fear but do not resist or react to it:

http://www.raptitude.com/2010/08/how-to-make-life-agreeable/

>...It usually involved holding your breath and averting your eyes as you scoop out the food-slime and hurriedly direct it toward the garbage bin, bracing yourself throughout, as if you’re jumping into icy water.

It’s the same strategy a wide-eyed Fear Factor contestant uses as he chomps frantically on the June bug in his mouth — he doesn’t want to confront it, he wants to escape it.

That method didn’t work for me, it just made me more aware of how awful it was. As soon as I tackled one sink, I began dreading the next room.

I don’t remember when it clicked, but after not too many kitchens, I learned the secret:

Let it feel like whatever it feels like.

Just do it and let it have its way with you. Turn toward it, not away.

Whenever I came to a gunked-up drain, I just scooped it out without rushing. I reached into the drain with no more reluctance than I would have reaching into a cookie jar. I looked at the mess with a stoic curiosity, allowing the swollen noodles and bread-mush to rest freely in my fingers for the two or three unhurried seconds it took to transfer them to the garbage can.

As long as I wasn’t rushing or trying not to touch it, it was painless. It wasn’t worth trying to escape.

Your (1) is just one of many possible (technically equivalent) definitions for the exponential function. And arguably not the most basic/natural/intuitive one.

The primary motivation for the exponential function is to be the inverse of the logarithm function. And the motivation of logarithms is to convert multiplication problems to addition problems, so they could be solved with table lookups (later performed on a slide rule) instead of difficult arithmetic. That is, log ab = log a + log b. Which is to say, exp(c + d) = (exp c)(exp d). Just setting this constraint along with the derivative exp’ 0 = 1 is enough to characterize the exponential function.

Or you can get to this function in many other ways, e.g. by solving the differential equation d/dx exp x = exp x; by the series 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + ...; or by defining the logarithm as the definite integral of 1/x starting at 1, and then taking the exponential function to be its inverse. I like defining the (complex) exponential as a conformal mapping between the cylinder and the plane minus a point.

This is what California always does. We forget about what happens in a drought as soon as the rain comes, and as soon as the rain comes, we realize we forgot about what happened the last time it flooded. After the catastrophe is already upon us, recriminations fly, trillions of pixels are wasted on heavy-handed think pieces, and we forget again, only to wonder why an entirely preventable tragedy managed to find us the next time one comes.

As far as I can tell, Gitlab (still) doesn't have search within repo. It's one of the most useful features on Github for me; often I want to see the definition or uses of some symbol without having to clone the repo. I don't understand why Gitlab doesn't seem to support it.
Using drones to hunt for the oceans’ plastic pollution
European high-speed rail systems have some dedicated rights of way, but they definitely didn't start that way. They are systems that are integrated with regional and urban rail, and have grown to have more dedicated higher speed sections over time. Compatibility is the main reason for the success of the TGV and ICE, for example over the failed Transrapid maglev system.

All track with passenger rail on it should be welded, so not sure what your point is. Also, every passenger rail should ideally be electrified; more freight trains should be electrified as well.

Yes high speed track is built to much tighter tolerances, but high speed trains can go on lower class tracks with slower speed. Plenty of ICE trains in Germany run on 160 km/h track. Extreme examples include TGVs being pulled by diesel trains to reach beach resorts.
I used to have massive fear of failure. Now I treat everything as an experiment. The point of the exercise is not to "make a million bucks" or "create a business" or even "get some customers".

The point of the exercise is to learn. I will try doing this thing in this way. If that doesn't work, I haven't failed, I've just learned that doing that thing in that way at that time doesn't work.

Hopefully I've also learned some other stuff that will make my next experiment more financially productive ;)

The coast would be a stupid place to run high speed rail; it would be both more expensive to the lay the track there and less useful.
> Multipliers are defined to be a combination of rotation and scaling.

True, my point was only that the definition obscures the fact that rotation (and specifically the stunning relationship between trigonometry and exponential functions) is the key to the answer of "why". Without that, I think the video is just an exercise in indirection.
> At which point losing containment is generally a matter of when not if.

No, it's not. The local geology is fairly solid rock. The overflowing water will wear down the overlying soil and loose Earth, but should be sustained by the rock formation. It is a risk, certainly, but such a site is chosen because of the suitable foundation.

The issue right now is to see how the spillway fares over the night. If it handles the increased flow, then it should be able to continue to relieve the situation.

To be fair, I think it is a little ethically troubling to refer to the emergency spillway as anything other than that (e.g. auxiliary spillway), but it is designed to function in an emergency, not just fail catastrophically.

> Wonder when the current AI summer will come to an end...

Are we really closer to AI in a significant way today? Chomsky makes an interesting argument to the contrary. He points out that any physical system, say the motion of falling bodies, can be closely modeled statistically given enough data points. However, this modeling gives us very little insight into why the system behaves in that manner, i.e. gravity.

Of course, this presumes that the human brain isn't just an advanced statistical model trained by billions of years of evolution.
Making trains go where people aren't relieves the pressure on ever increasing prices in populous areas. People will have a realistic option of living in cheaper areas.

AND it allows real estate speculators to get a much higher rate of return when they build up cookie cutter neighbourhoods in cheap land that is soon to be linked up by rail.

Both a good and a cynical reason for this behaviour, which is why I don't think you'll ever see it change (no matter where you are).
Part of the cost is improving the peninsula rail corridor for full grade separation, along with the suicide prevention improvements Caltrain is already performing on the corridor. When it's built, there should be a lot fewer places for suicide and a lot tighter control.

The linked article answers why Medium sometimes gets held up as a journalistic enterprise--at some points, as they've flailed around for business models, they've directly paid writers and editors for content, and at other points they've courted other publications to either move to Medium wholesale or provide exclusive content for them. WordPress sees their technology platform as the core of their business. Medium seems to see their technology platform as a means to an end; they just can't figure out what that end is.
I think the only way is to actually embrace failure. Most things that are worth doing have a gigantic chance of failure statistically, and I don't just mean startups. Marriages fail at astonishing rates, most friendships aren't life long friendships.

I think it's important to just say "I want to do this, even if I fail," and really believe that it'll have been worth doing even if you fail.

Right now, my team and I are building a startup that sells fertilizer and seed in rural sub-saharan Africa. On credit. What we're doing is crazy and has all of the challenges of any other startup, but we're also doing it with all of the challenges that operating in Kenya has.

Just believe it's worth doing.

Nearly all military vehicles from the UK, mainland Europe and the US are 24 volt and it has something to do with radio interference shielding, iirc. Certainly all radio equipped vehicles use 24v wiring with 2x12v batteries.

Many military Land Rovers (60+ years worth) were 24v, at least the ones built specifically for military usage. The lights relay on mine is both 12 & 24 volt, so interchangeable with the many models of vehicle in service. The windscreen wipers are mechanical though, no relay at all, but they only have two positions; on & off.
Indeed, I would call myself as user who uses "Create similar playlist" on daily basis. Sadly, it isn't so awesome as Discover Weekly, because for certain tracks it won't generate any new tracks, i.e. When you put single track (Price - Controversy) and click to create similar playlist you may notice exactly the same track (Prince - Controversy). Also, it usually generate the same output for the specified list of tracks.
The main dam has no holes, so there's nothing really to plug. This is not what's going on in this case. The erosion of the spillway isn't a failure of the main dam, it's just a badly damaged portion halfway down the hillside where they would be sending the overflow water. this means that the overflow water is causing even more erosion as it eats away at everything it's flowing around.

This is cool, but I'm a bit confused. Websockets have been around for a long time now, and there are tons of popular libraries (like socket.io, but more importantly, you should check out the high performance https://github.com/uWebSockets/uWebSockets instead).

Is all this doing trying to encourage awareness that using websockets is good? If so, awesome. Else, what is it? Because it does not discuss how Websockets lose state on reload. Your game will be in a completely wrong state. Managing and maintaining state is the important thing (which is what https://github.com/amark/gun does, which is of course also "websockets-first"). When you reload your game, it should return/remain as it was, or else half your players are going to see a half-broken system!
The problem with this is that most startups don't have the runway to recover from a mistake. This is why you have to try things as early as possible - if you wait you won't have enough cash left to try something else.

No, he makes his money by exploiting the labour of workers. Furthermore, this exploutation is not necessary for the boss to have a high standard of living, never mind bare survival.

Yes, that's correct.

>To have a notion that multiplication by imaginaries causes rotation, you'd need Euler's formula.

No you don't. You might notice this by simply working with imaginary numbers. You might invent imaginary numbers for rotation [0].

Alternatively, consider the multiplication (x + yi)(a + bi), as the value (a + bi) performing a transformation on (x + yi). We want (x + yi)(a + bi) = xy - by + ayi + bxi. If we consider (x + yi) to be a 2 dimensional matrix (with basis 1 and i), we can write the above equation as a matrix multiplication:

[ x y ] [ a b ] = [ ax-by ; ay + bx]
-b a

Notice that

[ a b ]
-b a

is just a rotation matrix multiplied by the scalar (a^2 + b^2).

[0] That is, define a group (in the group-theory sense) of functions of rotations, denoted as xi for real numbers x, and a group of group of functions for sliding, denoted x for real numbers x. You might then notice that you can combine these groups in a field structure, that happens to have 1i * 1i = -1, and that the subfield of elements with no i component happens to be isomorphic the the reals.

You're lucky to have such an enlightened workplace. There are many companies where fathers are officially allowed to take parental leave or work flexible hours, but in practice everybody knows that those are really just for women; the fact that men are allowed to make use of those options and people don't say anything doesn't necessarily mean that they don't quietly write off child-caring men as being unreliable or uncommitted.

I don't have any data on flexible work hours, but in 2011 a study found that only 4% of new fathers took over 2 weeks of parental leave. This is why it was so important when Zuckerberg took two months of parental leave -- it set an example and communicated to the company "men taking parental leave is normal".
