Swift Integer Quick Guide
Yeah, the industrial designers can't really crank up the watts on the magnetron or otherwise mess with the specifications, most of what's left is fiddling with the UI to enable ever more elaborate combinations of timing and power (most of which aren't very useful).

My favorite peeve is that cheap MW ovens often don't let you add time while the oven is running when the affordance is already right there (just push the +1m button you used to set the time again). You only get that feature if you buy a more expensive and complex model.

Agree with your point on how people fall for it - but the most important thing we are trying to solve here are the actual credible facts - and not opinions of those facts. :)
I wonder if any games use a landmark approach to bound their A* search.

The basic idea of landmarks is that you choose a small number of landmarks (e.g. four corners of a map) and for every landmark, you pre-compute the distances to every node. You can then use this information to get a lower-bound for the distance to the target via the triangle inequality: d(p,t) >= |d(p,LM) - d(t,LM)|.

This is obviously weaker than the goal bounding explained in the video, but the precomputing only takes O(n). We used it quite successfully in a global router (for EDA), where the heuristic lower-bound is often much better than a standard A-star heuristic based on geometric distances, because edges could have wildly different costs.

I am not a technical person. This is a non coder/lay person's point of view, okay?

With that disclaimer, there are some things you have to do: 1. Determine a lie detection strategy. Memes mutate. Tracking the way news changes and differs ever so slightly would require some kind of crawler bot that constantly compares and contrasts several versions and iterations of the same news. Can real news mutate? Probably not. Fake news would keep changing with each pattern because that's it's purpose..to spread and it would use every advantage it can find..2. Pattern recognition. There is a certain pattern to how fake news channels spreads before it comes main stream. 3. Reputation system or rankings. 4. Humans develop deception detection methods as we get more exposed to more deception. So to detect fake news, expose your (what I can only imagine) code or bots or whatever to fake news. 5. Karl popper's falsifiability. Science has the demarcation problem to distinguish between science and pseudoscience. I would like to think of it as science vs unexplained phenomena or non-science.(example: I don't think homeopathy is pseudo science and am reluctant to label it as such..I am also reluctant to label it science) Study scientific method in theory before getting into technical code.

I have a confession to make - I'm not a particularly good leader. I don't like managing people, and I'm not terribly interested in learning how to do this. I have seen good managers in action, and have been under a few on occasion; I am not one of these people.

I do, however, have some very solid skills and have deployed them repeatedly at the handful of companies I have worked at in the past.

My main concern is knowing that down the road I'm probably going to get "stuck" in my career when I'm not interested in moving up and running a team. It seems like a trend lately to praise the IC and promise them the moon and stars, but I think this is mostly lip service to keep them around.

> Why hire them in the first place?

Because they were qualified applicants and the hiring manager wanted to not get sued for blatant hiring discrimination?

These folks clearly don't deserve to be taken at face value. Otherwise the "Everyone is getting jackets" could have been properly taken at value to mean that everyone, including women were getting them. So we're past believing them at face value now, great.

So why did they really make this an issue? Probably some combination of:

1. Someone was playing politics and wanted a head pat for saving money (conversely, they did not want to reprimanded for going over-budget).

2. Women are often perceived as less assertive, so they thought they would be less likely to raise a stink over a "minor issue" like a free jacket. (The really pessimistic side of me says someone thought "Women don't wear leather jackets anyhow, it's not stylish enough. Why spend money on something they won't use?")

I don't for one second believe they actually thought "equality" came into play at all.
If you want a laundry machine on a higher floor, just add tile and a drain when building the house. Getting a washing machine up to the 3rd floor can be a significant issue. But, combining a laundry room with a bathroom is a very sensible design choice. (As is having a drain on the floor for every room with a sink.)

The downside is just noise when running the washing machine.

Creating a supervision tree for Elixir GenEvent behavior
i actually built a little chameleon throwie concept years ago based on this principal. it used two RGB led as the output light and stepped through the colors, then used the unused LED to measure the light(LEDs have photosensitive resistance). Then once it figure out it's color(dumb mixing of resistances) it would output the guessed color using PWM on both RGB LEDs of the thing it was on. In short though, it didn't work very well. Also like others have said, LED's have very narrow bandwidths (by design, as it uses less power). if this weren't the case people probably wouldnt be paying around $2000 grand for a light bulb (http://www.shop.spectrecology.com/USB-ISS-UV-VIS-illuminate-...)
Regulatory capture is by far not the only kind of capture, and a well-run government can avoid it. Just as a fair free market can avoid whatever you're goalpost-hauling at when you say "true monopoly". Of course, it's also much more likely that a market without regulation enables collusive behavior on the part of actors with the greater balance of power who don't have to answer to the society around them. Monopolies are not and have never been the only, or even the biggest, societal threat. Oligopolies and cartels exist because cooperating against the public is a better option for them than competing with one another and (as any game theorist will tell you) the first to be disloyal gains only a small edge at the cost of significantly reduced results for everybody.

The only real threat to an entrenched oligopoly or a cartel in your sufficiently-free market is a necktie party on the streetcorner, and that in practice is rare 'cause paying for guns takes money.
My personal issue with EVs is that most people who like them don't really understand or refuse to acknowledge that their cars also run on fossil fuels, they're just not doing the combustion under the hood.

The three major fossil fuels—petroleum, natural gas, and coal—accounted for most of the nation's energy production in 2015:

Natural gas—32%
Petroleum (crude oil and natural gas plant liquids)—28%
Coal—21%
Renewable energy—11%
Nuclear electric power—9%

src: http://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/?page=us_energy_home

It might help reduce emissions directly in city centers, but the power plants are generally not that far from large cities anyway. Since EVs are also much heavier in general (Tesla P85D is ~4936lb vs a Corvette at ~3347lb or a Civic at ~2738lb), even though they are pretty efficient, they're still pretty close (when I ran the numbers before, they were higher) in greenhouse gas emissions once you factor in how much energy it takes to drive one vs an ICE vehicle. Batteries are also pretty nasty to dispose of and have a comparatively short lifetime -- a well-maintained car from the 90s is still very much drivable today (and cars without batteries can be maintained almost indefinitely), while battery packs aren't very useful past 7-10 years.

In that same vein, rare earth minerals are required in much larger quantities for EVs due to the batteries and the motors. Many countries mining and processing those don't care much about the environment, so they're mined and processed in environmentally-irresponsible ways, and we're now massively increasing demand for them. This is from 2010: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/forget-lithium-its-rare-earth-mi...

Because they're sold as "green" and "zero emissions", and due to the various government tax breaks (which even applied to >$100k Teslas and >$1m Porsche 918s), single-driver carpool lane privileges in California (significant because about 50% of EVs sold in the US are in CA), priority parking spots, free (employer-subsidized) charging at many workplaces, EVs are ever more popular despite them being about even from what I can tell for the environment when you look at the total lifecycle vs normal cars. This bothers me. Many EV drivers do not seem to understand the impact their vehicles have, seemingly because it says "zer0 emissions" on the license plate frame.
> One other reason is that counties have the land rights. They negotiate with the big Telco's like Comcast, Verizon, Cox, Charter, etc and then issue a monopoly or duopoly in the county for a fixed period of time - usually 10 years at once.

They do not do that. It's illegal under federal law. Pole and conduit owners are required to rent out access at non-discriminatory rates: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/224.

The reason companies don't overbuild is because it's expensive and there isn't any return. FiOS came to my building in Baltimore. I was the only person on my floor to switch away from Comcast. Even these days, people choose their broadband provider based primarily on the TV package.
I don't imagine this sentiment would go down well with most Americans (who I assume live in small towns?) but this is so damn true. There was a small period in history where small-town economies were sustainable (post WW2) but these towns seem to have completely failed to reinvent themselves in light of changing economic conditions. OTOH you have American cities and urban areas innovating like crazy and leading the push towards sustainable living, clean energy etc and creating new markets with lots of jobs.

One of the things I found incredibly surprising in America is just how much people do not like to move; especially those living in small towns to bigger cities. So we have a situation where the cities are attracting people from other countries often many oceans away, and the people living in the same state are unwilling to move out of their home towns.
I'm not sure it would be viable. You need sharp edged sockets because the wire cold welds to the socket pin and if you unravel you can feel it pop loose from the corners. "Gas tight connection" as they called it. You can wrap round analog component pins but it doesn't stick as well. So you're mostly limited to digital DIP components in sockets. Given that limitation it worked very well back when "The TTL cookbook" from the late 70s was mostly contemporary.

Counter intuitively people assume short neat wiring is lower capacitance therefore better, actually complete rats nest has lower capacitance and lower coupling. You aren't going to be running much above maybe 20 MHz but that was OK in the days when a 2 MHz nmos Z80 was "pretty fast".

Everyone does something dumb once like wrap an entire 8-bit microprocessor system using the same wiring color, but back then it was easy to get multiple colors and do your data bus in green and address bus in red or whatever.

Another anecdote back in the old, old days original "TTL", no series like LS or HC, was kinda power hungry and 30 gauge wire is not thick and people would daisy chain from power pin to power pin and 20 hungry chips later be perturbed that 5 volts comes in but there's only 4 volts at the power pins of the last chip. Lots of people hand soldered larger gauge wire for power and ground along with hand soldering on decoupling capacitors.

Another anecdote from the ancient days WRT cross coupling and interference the electrical noise a circuit generates is almost solely proportional to risetime / falltime of gate which depends on gate family not clock speed. So a 10 MHz plain TTL board was much more electrically quiet than a 0.89 MHz "quarter colorburst crystal" circuit made with "F" family chips, this is very counter intuitive to many people.

What a color burst crystal is, and why they were so cheap until the 00s or so, is beyond the scope of this post LOL.

Nothing forces people to learn RF/analog electronics as well as trying to do fast digital electronics.

In the United States, the overall cancer death rate has declined since the early 1990s. The most recent Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, published in March 2016, shows that from 2003 to 2012, cancer death rates decreased by:

1.8 percent per year among men

1.4 percent per year among women

2.0 percent per year among children ages 0-19

Although death rates for many individual cancer types have also declined, rates for a few cancers have stabilized or even increased.

»

A sustained 1.5 percent decrease per-year is not something that can be wholly attributed to early detection or reclassification. It is huge; a 1.5 percent yearly decrease means halving mortality in ~50 years. If this metric is true (and there's no reason to discredit it), then:

- Some other mortality cause is increasing and dwarfing cancer; or

- Cancer survivability metrics are being negatively affected by early detection.

In any case, it's quite difficult to make a strong case that medical knowledge regarding cancer has not progressed in 60 years and that outcomes are stable. Such a large decrease in cancer death rates must be fueled by some major structural force.
1: Single-payer health care. Employer health care is a huge headache for any company that wants to scale. The costs are also too high for individuals and it depresses the economy as a whole. This really should be a no-brainer.

2: Bring back the WPA. Dismantling it was one of the biggest stupid mistakes in American history. Just pay people to show up and work. It doesn't matter if a private contractor is more efficient or if the work can be done more effectively with expensive machines, just pay people to show up and work.

Here in Ithaca, NY, many of our beautiful gorge trails were built under the WPA. They have lasted for nearly 100 years, and aside from the occasional falling rock landslide, I bet they could last for 100 more.

I don't know about you, but I would be far more comfortable with the idea of starting companies if my backup plan included a state guarantee of work and health care. I may be a software developer but nobody is above picking up a shovel and doing honest work for honest pay.
