It's dependant on the airspace you are flying through and when are you supposed to make contact.

I avoided praising him too much in order to avoid other questions, but since you bring it up: We should also remember his advocacy of some bad things, including some arguably discriminatory or at least condescending policies toward his black fellow citizens, and support of mass murderers in Indonesia and East Timor. (I'm not going into details, but people interested in him should look up the whole picture.)
It's misleading indeed. This version of JPS+ is basically a preprocessing optimization - does graph compacting offline to compute a smaller representation that's faster to run guided search on.

And of course there's a serious down-side: if the graph changes at runtime (eg. player builds a new door, or blows away a bridge) the preprocessing has to be redone, and it's not cheap.
Another important reason is so that they can't be pressured into campaigning. (Since it would be illegal for the to do so.)

I think a lot of this could simply be done on a domain level, i.e a site that publishes fake news once is likely to be generally less trustworthy. Then it would be up to sites like Google and FB to remove them from their listings (as is already done with spam) and not accept any ads linking to them (as is done for all kinds of illegal goods).

Come to think of it, even a site's PageRank should be a useful signal, as it (ideally) reflects the trust other sites have in this site.
You can't actually /binge eat/ after a fast. You can eat a lot, but you will still eat less than an usual day anyway, you can't possibly eat as much as you've missed, it's impossible.

As I mentioned before, I actually eat quite a bit less /in general/ than I used to a few years back.

So nope, you haven't convinced me, far from it. My family is happy, my doctor is happy, and more importantly, I'm happy.
You can safely go back to inventing disorders, I personally hope that the stories on this particular topic will convince a few more people to stop trusting the likes of you.

Humans have a "tumour suppressor gene" called p53 which helps reduce the occurrence of cancers. Elephants (not quite whale size, but still pretty big!) have been shown to simultaneously express 20 variants of p53 which is thought to (at least partially) account for the lack of an expected increase in incidences of tumours given their sheer number of cells.

It seems like this would do well on Python code where type errors are relatively rare, and the developers' attitude towards types has been basically sane for the history of the project. Furthermore, this looks like it's going to work best if you have a lot of pure functions. If these things are true you're already doing pretty well! I'd say this is a tool to make already-exemplary Python code even better.
Well perhaps they should consider paying better wages or offering better working conditions if they truly have problems finding people.
Scares the hell out of me to be frank...
Is there a reason you would mis-interpret that comment on purpose?

Obviously not. But the way it gets bandied around as if every politician speaks for everybody is something fairly unique to America. I've never heard a European leader (at least, not in recent times) speak out loud like that. And if they did it would make me cringe just the same.
You seem to have misread my comment.

I attempted to frame Flynn's perspective as one of the available strategies toward Russia. I am not making a moral judgment about any of the strategies, though I do point out in the linked comment that here is a significant humanitarian cost to proxy wars.
You are assuming that these allegations are fake. The allegations mention a wealth of tangible evidence, but no contradiction is presented.

It may well still be fake, but assuming that it is fake is, at this point, premature and probably itself biased.
The effect of density is not overstated. States' average bandwidth in the Akamai rankings line up closely with population density. I live in Maryland (one of the most densely populated states, though half the density of the U.K.) and most of the urban areas have fiber available (the exception being Baltimore city, for political reasons).

Even if you live in an urban area, the prevalence of rural areas (and poor urban areas), has an impact on you, because the US supports rural telecommunications through various internal cross-subsidies instead of direct support.

The regulatory regime plays a role too, but it's more complicated than your simplistic presentation. In the U.K., the last mile infrastructure is owned by a single company (BT Openreach), but equally importantly, the government ensures it is a quite profitable company. Much more so than American utilities. That was a conscious part of the BT privatization: designing a rate structure that would ensure prices high enough to create adequate incentives for investment.
> but in real life most people know (or should know) what constitutes harassment and what doesn't.

That's a very dangerous statement.

First, in this case, we're obviously not dealing with most people. If you want clear cut rules, you're not going to find it.

Second, these things are culturally dependent. You can go topless on a beach in France and nobody will bat an eye, do so in an asian country and you'll be gawked at, and in any conservative Muslim country you'll be jailed.

Simply saying "You should know" is not a legal justification for monentary sanctions and/or accusations.
If you have different beliefs than you'll have different probability distributions. There's nothing wrong with that.

Subject to a few technical requirements (basically absolute continuity of priors), it's a theorem in that your posteriors will eventually converge as more evidence is gathered.

That's why I like frequentist statistics. It gives me a way to settle the answer outside of my own belief system.

Can you explain this? To me this makes no sense - as a Bayesian I run simulations too.
It's not just about verified vs unverified claims, it's also how the claims are presented. The quotes from Fowler's blog are selective to misleading:

As an example, the part where she describes HR's excuses is quoted in full ("first offense", "honest mistake") but the part where she notes those excuse are likely complete fabrications is left unmentioned. That makes it appear as if Fowler were overreacting even by her own claims when her actual claims are much more grave and substantial.
Introduction to Ignite
I ran a bootstrapped ISP much the same way. I ran into the static issue as well did a few things to fix it. Ran a better ground on the roof. Isolated the tower from the roof surface with wood (that was done during tower erection). Lastly, I put a fiber link cut in-between the run of Ethernet from the data center, and the router box on the tower.
So is the second X chromosome in women supposed to be an exact copy of the first or do they differ? That's fascinating to me all by itself, and more so that some genes in the dupe can reinforce the first even though the rest of the chromosome is suppressed.

EDIT: Ah, wikipedia explains that the two X chromosomes in a standard-issue woman come from the mother and paternal grandmother, and then ... "Early in embryonic development in females, one of the two X chromosomes is randomly and permanently inactivated in nearly all somatic cells (cells other than egg and sperm cells). This phenomenon is called X-inactivation or Lyonization, and creates a Barr body. If X-inactivation in the somatic cell meant a complete de-functionalizing of one of the X-chromosomes, it would ensure that females, like males, had only one functional copy of the X chromosome in each somatic cell. This was previously assumed to be the case. However, recent research suggests that the Barr body may be more biologically active than was previously supposed." Which must be related to the EXITS that the OP refers to.

Being a male, I'm troubled by the fitness of the Y-chromosome over the generations. It seems to me that it can only accumulate errors and mutations. However, I suppose the same could be said about the mitochondria that come exclusively from females. This partial double-X scheme seems like a useful way of mixing up traits intrageneration and maybe strengthen healthful cell behaviors.
I don't understand. Are those five stories suppose to be representative of today's unemployment problems?

Because if they are. We need more social programs to help these people. Not more "job creators".

This is why you get an agreement with the city to share their conduit and help each other out where possible. Not sure of the political climate there, but getting on their good side will save you money and time.
Management is interesting because you can be a terrible manager yet still have a successful career at it.

A lot of competent management practices seem counter-intuitive if you've never been exposed to them. Most managers I know have have never even read a book on the subject. Management is often the blind leading the blind. Most likely this kind of environment will scare away any good managers, so the cycle continues.

So, unfortunately, it shouldn't be surprising that these counter-productive practices continue.

That said, reports like this never cease to amaze me.
>I don't want an answer that's dependent on how the person thought. That definitely comes across as subjective to me.

Then I think you'll be somewhat disappointed when you learn more about philosophy of science and the core debates over methodology. The biggest problem is: nothing is purely objective. Everything involves assumptions of some sort, otherwise we run head-on into the Problem of Induction, white ravens, No Free Lunch Theorems (on the more machine-learny side), and other such problems.

>Yes, but as someone else has pointed out, what the heck do you mean by "probability"? Frequentist statistics is fairly clear on the definition. The whole argument given above seems like he is happy he has some mechanism to get an answer, with little thought about whether he is asking a meaningful question.

I don't think frequentist statistics are very clear here at all! A p-value, after all, is a likelihood, which frequentist statisticians insist is not a probability, but which the math clearly says is a conditional probability. So when you get a p<0.05 finding, it never means, "We actually ran this experiment under a control hypothesis N times, for some large N, and fewer than five came out this way." It's a measure of counterfactual outcomes, conditional on an assumption which we pretend to expect to be true. When the p-value is small, we then pretend to be surprised, and pretend to make an interesting inference.

I say "pretend" because an ordinary NHST is mathematically equivalent to a Bayesian credible hypothesis test with a uniform prior over the hypotheses. Performing the frequentist test involves pretending to believe that uniform prior, even though you probably actually set up the experiment in order to obtain a significant p-value.

In the end, the NHST is a chiefly social practice, and the p-value is chiefly social evidence. It's a way of convincing peer reviewers to accept (that is, subjectively believe) that you did a real experiment, when they would otherwise skeptically believe that you made it all up (which, unfortunately, some researchers have been known to do!).

Bayesian methods don't get rid of this subjective, social component to science and make everything "objective", any more than you can do that by hiring Mr. Spock to do your statistics. Bayesian methods drag the subjective, social component of prior elicitation out into the sunlight where everyone involved has to acknowledge it. They also give you numbers that are actually about the experiment you really did, as opposed to measuring your experiment against an infinity of counterfactual experiments you never really performed.

(And also they're easier with small sample sizes, their results are more intuitive to interpret, and generative models are more intuitive to think about than test statistics.)

All that said, I totally have used frequentist statistics (took a very similar class to yours) when called upon to do so. Fighting a philosophy-of-statistics holy war against your higher-ups in the workplace hierarchy is a really bad idea, so however nice Bayesian or frequentism might sound, sometimes you buckle down and do what ships products and publishes papers.

> "She kept her flock just sick and miserable enough they didn't escape"

Where's the evidence for that? I read Hitchens' utterly biased hit piece on her, I didn't see real evidence, just accusations and editorializing.

> "She raised billions of dollars and very little of it ended up helping the people she was supposed to be caring for."

Be specific. She raised billions, but very little helped the people? Give us numbers, and show us original sources. Hitchens' hit pieces didn't contain these. (As I recall, even Hitchens acknowledged that Mother Teresa didn't live luxuriously herself.)

>> There are plenty of others like Benny Hinn...

Hinn, Popov and others shysters aren't caring for the sick, feeding the hungry. Red herring.

Yes, most definitely -- as mentioned you stop being hungry anyway, and you get a bit of a 'high' as well, perhaps due to the typical drowsiness of digestion not being there...

My pet theory is that we evolved it, as hunter gatherers we probably had to develop a way to sharpen the senses in case the family/group was running out of food. Ie the Next Hunt can't fail. I think it's a cute idea. Very likely completely baseless :-)

> It just makes no sense

I see you've never actually dealt with HR departments before.

I worked at a company where the director of IT/Dev hired his wife to the department; they were swingers and engaged in a variety of unethical and harassing behavior. If you got on his wife's bad side he would punish you by taking away bonuses. He was also regularly drunk at work (and later died of liver failure around age 45). They both propositioned women in the office.

Nothing was done. HR papered over any complaints and ensured anyone who did complain was given a bad performance review to ensure if a lawsuit were ever filed they could point to bad performance and claim it was just sour grapes. He was seen as critical to the success of the department and the company had grown quickly. The head of HR was old golfing buddies with the CEO and both were friends with the director in question.

He was only fired once he grabbed one of his manager's breasts while in a huge meeting with a bunch of people. This was not the first time he grabbed women around the office, but there were too many witnesses to punish the victim in this specific case.
Oh, from the title I thought Stack Overflow was shutting down.
>I can't speak for other posters, but I was 'complaining' about this:

No, you started complaining that the WSJ accused PewDiePie of being anti-semitic before I made that comment.

>Yes, and quite often they're the ones who started it. Furthermore, my (fellow) gay friends make more and harsher 'gay jokes' than my straight friends. But all in the right context.

There isn't really a right context for straight people to make homophobic jokes.

It sounds like things are pretty fucked up in Holland, if your account is to believed. Thankfully they aren't quite as fucked up in the part of the world that WSJ journalists are familiar with, which maybe explains the disconnect between your reaction and theirs. I'm British (but have spent ~5 years living in the US), and can say that it's not normal for middle class white guys to make Holocaust jokes or homophobic jokes here either.

>So just to be clear: my preferred world is one where not a single person is hurt in any way by another person's 'joke', and I'm doing my best to at least make that a reality in my own life

So have you stopped making homophobic and anti-semitic jokes and stopped defending other people who do? Your comment is a bit ambiguous on this point.
Neat. Bookmarked
That's a common argument that really doesn't hold any water.

The average mid market hotel (Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn) costs $50-75k per room to build, with the typical project costing $6-8M. Nearly all hotels like this are built from standardized components and are owned by small local or regional operators.

If you go downmarket, that cost goes in half. If you look at older, but still legally compliant hotel property, acquisition cost is probably $5-10k/room in many markets. Obviously big city hotels costs more to build/buy and operate. That's why a NYC hotel is often 2x-3x other places -- and that is being challenged by lower operating cost business models.

The large hotel chains don't own a lot of property. They are brands who license their trademarks and access to their reservation system.

Fiskars also makes excellent scissors [1], and their "Heritage" series is apparently still manufactured in Finland.

I grew up with the solid molded one, in classic 1970s orange. The current "original" one is a rather cheap-looking matte presumably made in Asia, but you can get the Heritage-series fabric scissors [2] (they're fine for things like paper and cardboard). They come in both left- and right-handed versions.

I've been involved with the internet, and its predecessor, for a long time. Before the web existed, "coding" meant writing computer programs.

When the web was invented, and for some considerable time after, writing HTML was not called "coding". It was called "writing HTML". This, of course, preceded the time when pages contained PHP or Javascript.

Now pages do contain programs, or fragments of programs, intended to be executed at serve-time or render-time, and writing those parts of the page are clearly "coding" in the original sense.

Now I'm starting to see people referring to writing plain HTML+CSS as "coding" as a matter of course, and it feels, thereby, that usage has changed. Just as "hacker" used to mean something different and now is used by people at large to mean "breaking into or otherwise doing nefarious things to computers and computer systems", is this a usage that has changed?

Does "everyone" now think of writing HTML+CSS as "coding"?

Please note that I have no skin in the game, and to some extent I don't really care, I just want to know what the current general feeling and usage is.

Thanks.

I am just using fonts from Google Web Fonts, but when we made the change we had several users reach out with how much they love the new fonts.

Since then, I am very intentional about using fonts consistently and intentionally. I could definitely see us "upgrading" our fonts when we do a design refresh.
