I truly wish that most communities of practice were more like what you describe. But, it's also naive to expect that experts won't criticize, sometimes even harshly.

For instance, I am currently learning data science from the ground up (i.e. reading the fundamental mathematical literature) and doing it outside of a university program. It is disheartening to post a question, to say Cross Validated, and have a few critical commenters almost laugh the motivation out of me. So, I can emphasize.

However, on the other hand, as a software practitioner, I am often on the other side of the fence. In this field in particular it seems like there are often amateurs who decide to jump in with an arrogant disrespect for the existing community knowledge and practices. I think it's because software is very cool now (like statistics, etc.). And, in software it's easy to find some code and libraries and 'wire them together' in crude ways.

Note, I am not implying that this is the case here! I haven't even looked at the software nor read most of the comments. But, since I often see this happening, I know that such comments are expected. I'm only commenting on your perspective.

I am not against autodidacts. In fact, I am one myself. And, I encourage it. But, all autodidacts should expect and embrace criticism from the community. It sucks to take it, because often commenters are often overly harsh and blunt. But, in defense of them, every community will be like this, to some degree. And, it's expected. Many of these practitioners have spent their life doing it, and they have some right to be critical, don't they?
Realistically you can never expect updates from any non-nexus android phones. If you don't want an iphone (like me) and you want a phone that will get regular updates you have to get a nexus (or pixel now).
That's Windows, isn't it? :P

I gather that it was published in 2015 (noted above) so before Cambridge Analytica became public knowledge.
The page claims that CPI is an interpreter, but as this post says it is not. It just uses a regular compiler to build the input, then fiddled with the file descriptors to hook up the new executable's I/O to cpi's existing fds.
Fair enough, they're probably among the best pilots in the world, and a long runway helps (I've landed a Cessna 172 at Upington, South Africa, at 4900 meters one of the few runways in the world longer than the Shuttle Landing Facility, and yes, it's fairly straightforward to set it down smoothly in the nearly three minutes you can fly down that runway).

But are you advocating that pax in an A380 approaching big airports with nice weather just walk around as they please? And why not? Because the risk during takeoff and landing is elevated, compared to cruise flight, isn't it?

It's a tricky question, granted, but I'd still say, "principiis obsta", nip things in the bud, don't let safety standards slide, buckle up.
Assuming you mean a network block device rather than a network filesystem (be very, very vary about network filesystems that claim sufficient POSIX compliance to run a database; it may work, but test very carefully and see what people say about your specific setup as it's very easy to get it wrong and end up with corrupted data), it'll work quite well, but it will typicall be awfully performance wise unless you spend a fortune working around bottlenecks that won't be there in most local setups.

It's a performance vs. availability/reliability tradeoff, and it's not a straightforward one.
Perhaps you should move to northern Stockholm suburbs like Rinkeby and Husby where violent riots have become somewhat of a norm. Just a few days ago there was a five hour riot that included torching cars, throwing rocks at the police, looting shops and businesses, beating up journalists. The reason for riot? Police arrested a suspect on a drug charge. Same thing happened last August in the same part of Stockholm. Violent riots and 47 torched cars. Same suburb where more than 100 cars where torched during riots in May 2013.

Was there a single riot like that in Sweden that did not involve immigrants? How about honor killings?

Those are completely new categories of violence for Sweden.

> I saw nazis demonstrating in the local town center yesterday, which shocked me.

That's what you get when you bury your head in the sand and choose to ignore the reality.
The differences are due to different definitions of intentional homicide between countries, which is why I would argue a UN study with its own definition is better for comparison than a Swedish and US source.
If work requires trello and slack on a mobile device, it would be reasonable to ask them to buy said device for you. I dislike the trend of work expecting people to use their personal mobile device to stay connected or even for 2FA.

But does the OS matter much for a feature phone? One does not even really want to write mails with that, those are phones too call someone, write a text, maybe listen to some music (radio) and play some snake. A basic OS might just be okay for that.

Now, the atrocity that was the OS for the Nokia Asha phones, that is a completely different story.
I have the SE. Amazing phone, highly recommended, and I'm sure it will continue to get updates for several years, the same can't be said for most Android devices especially from Sony.
It doesn't really matter, it still does vastly better than plurality voting. I tried simulations where every individual automatically approved of the top 50% of candidates. It still got good results. Similar if everyone voted for the top 30% of candidates they liked, or any other arbitrary percentage.

Using more ranges is silly. There's no reason to ever give a candidate less than maximum vote, if you want to give them a chance at winning. If you don't, then there's no reason to give them anything above 0.
All you can edge cache, though, is static content.

That's generally true.

This was one of the problems I worked on at NuevoCloud.. for dynamic pages, it would look at the page, and determine which sections of the page are static or dynamic/unique. A PoP near the server would do the analysis, and then send the unique sections to the edge PoP (near the visitor) for it to be reassembled.

So the static portions of a page would be cached, and you would only be sending the unique parts of a page over long distances... and that would also be compressed, encrypted, and sent over an optimized connection (ie: no handshake delay, etc).

Of course, the difference is more significant the further away you are from the origin.

I don't know of any other CDNs doing that.. but I imagine they'll eventually get to it. So I would look for that in the future, even if you don't use our CDN.

Well, I certainly don't have any hard data on this, so the point might be moot. When I think about it, you are probably right in saying that most people who argue for racial and cultural diversity are mostly thinking about western, white-majority countries. On the other hand I tend to think that they would also care for diversity in e.g. the Middle East or Japan, if one were to point the problem out to them. I might be wrong there though, since at least your experience seems to be different.
I can accept that in an infographic meant for a wide audience very strong correlation may imply causation. The aim of the infographic is, indeed, praiseworthy.

However the missing y axis for the second factor really upsets me! What's the normalization? How has data been rescaled? That can affect __a lot__ how visually correlated two datasets appear.
Did you look at the graph?

The local derivative is most definitely not indicative of a general trend.

For comparison, I throw a ball down at the ground, and for the first 0.1 seconds it's moving down - can I conclude that the ball is going to keep moving down, even when it hits the ground? That's your logic.
It's because global warming politics has nothing to do with temperature. The incentive isn't to cool the planet, but alter the world economic model. Whether or not that's a worthy goal is irrelevant -- using the climate to advance that apparent agenda is fraudulent.

Here's more on that theory -- with appropriate links to source material from the UN.

This is not dissimilar to the Eugenics debates in the early 20th century: it was 'settled science' advocated by thought leaders and politicians at the time -- some with noble intentions but ultimately the core of the issue was the elimination of so-called undesirables in society using 'science' as a rationale. Look at documents and speeches by Eugenics proponents at the time -- strangly similar to the "settled science" arguments one hears today. The purpose of the Eugenics movements was far different than the climate movement today -- but no less nefarious depending on the side of the issue you may fall.

True, but the facts almost seem beside the point to climate change deniers.
A large amount of individual debt is wholly optional. What people ignore and therefor schools do not teach to be wary is that marketing is very well developed and convince otherwise rational people to make an irrational decision which has them take on more debt.

from buying too much house or car to over buying an education that cannot be used where the person is or in a field that cannot withstand the costs. all of these are marketed products. all three have vary optional levels of how much they cost.

then add in all the monthly bills and this is where many people miscalculate and it snow balls. from cell to internet to even television. you can quickly end up paying a significant amount of your income that has no tangible return.
What do you propose? You raised a nit, and didn't propose a solution.

As another commentor pointed out, this is a trivial fact known to all researchers in the field. If this was actually a devastating reply, then it would be pointed out in peer reviewed journals.
It's rough because they keep voting in people to represent them at the state and federal level who institute the policies that rob them of their dignity. They vote for failed policies, and then double down when those don't work. It's a problem that occurs when people believe that faith is as good as fact.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the argument we need is that global warming is happening - yes, there are deniers - I think we need better proof that we're actually fucked if temperatures keep going this way. That's what I see people pushing back against now, not so much the reality that climate change is now happening.
One plus is also very consistent with updates.
I remember my Nokia 3310 clearly. I still think I can type texts faster using that than I can on my iPhone now. It just required that you memorize the built-in dictionary.
> they all represent a net gain for Americans from the barren lands, primitive structures and meager output of 1776. Starting from scratch, America has amassed wealth totaling $90 trillion.

This is the original quote. The issue is with "starting from scratch." You're not starting from scratch if you obtained the land through genocide, assisted by free labor. You are starting with quite a lot. America did not start in 1776. European powers had been investing in the new world for hundreds of years at that point. The whole issue is calling the economy of America at 1776 "starting from scratch." It's ahistorical.

They have even disabled paste, for good measure.
He was not complaining about a lack of available information. He was complaining about non-rigorous arguments being passed off as a sufficient justification of a political position.

If I say global warming is caused by the decline in the population of pirates in the world, my conclusion may be correct but my reasoning is flawed. If people pressured you to believe in global warming on the basis of the pirate argument, you would be right to push back on that.
No, intentionally mislead the electorate.
I'm not sure how throwing out a bunch of anecdotes about people doing stupid things that might injure themselves counters the notion that people doing stupid things in multi-ton vehicles traveling at tens of miles per hour regularly injures and kills an unacceptable number of people per year.
There are numerous historical examples of societal manipulation (of the most extreme kind) that had little to do with technology.

I don't disagree about the need for policies; I just think those policies need to be directed toward humans as the weak link in the chain, not machines. This is not like gun control where a single person with a weapon can do a lot of unchecked damage, and thus access to guns needs to be controlled. Very few have access/can do damage with an algorithm.
Not with the accuracy and resolution of the data we have since last century. When you compare the current time series with the reconstructed ones from the past, you're comparing a day by day thermometric reading with the assembled averages of multiple, very noisy and extremely low frequency samples. Very tricky to say from those what might have been the actual speed of change in the past.
> It would be a shame to squander voting reform momentum to end up with IRV.

I feel an incredible sense of urgency about this, but am not sure how to go about acting on it. It's hard to convince people that this is part of the root of the problem. Most folks I talk to see the voting system as some kind of technicality, and don't understand that it's actually on a foundational level.

It seems like range/score voting could use a big marketing and education overhaul. Fairvote is not helping the situation.
Which will probably work out in her favor. Big failures can be used to build up a following. Im not criticizing her, just saying that a failed business does not equal a failed personal brand (unless you pull an OJ Simpson).
The point is that compared to any reference, the curve is increasing

But that in and of itself doesn't mean anything - the Earth has warmed from two ice ages that we know of. The baseline absolutely determines what conclusions can be drawn from the data.
It's like playing whack-a-mole. You'll never convince them.
The original article title in German captures the issue better - "Digitale Demokratie statt Datendiktatur", roughly translating to "Digital Democracy instead of Data Dictatorship".
Where isn't that true in the developed world currently? Very few places.

Take a look at the extreme household debt to income ratios in Denmark, Sweden, Canada, etc.

Look at the completely collapsed savings rate in Japan (stacked against their catastrophic budget / public debt situation that demands ever greater funding, while the economy has near zero spare taxing capacity). Japan has seen their real standard of living drop by at least 1/3 in 25 years and it's continuing to erode. That's the world's #3 economy and formerly an economic juggernaut.

Or look at the financial situation across most of the EU or Eurozone - most of Europe is hooked on between zero and negative real interest rates. Italy is in a ten year rolling depression. Spain, Portugal and Greece still haven't recovered. Russia's commodity based economic miracle is long over, as the price of oil isn't going back to $100 any time soon. France is averaging wage growth about 1/5th that of the US. Germany's economy has barely net expanded since 2008. Or take a look at the long-term unemployment figures for most European nations, contrasting 2006 vs 2016, it's clearly dire.

The US is in better shape than all but a few developed nations. That includes unemployment rate, income levels, wage growth, GDP growth, household income to debt ratio, cost of living, housing affordability.
Here is a look going back further in time (1). If you choose a time earlier than 1880, I think it actually strengthens the case for global warming. The concerning bit is not the record heat we see today, but the rate of change.

(1) https://xkcd.com/1732/

EDIT:

To explicitly address the argument here:

It's not disingenuous to compare to 1880 because if you were to choose any date earlier, you would come to the same conclusion. (It's nice to start with 1880 where we have actual records because then you can avoid arguments about the method you used to make projections about past temperatures).
It's been a long time since U.S. media has really attacked the Scandinavian countries because of their leftism or their welfare state. If anything, the attacks on Sweden implicitly assume the success of their model: the basic narrative is that Sweden has a good thing going but is throwing it away by accepting tons of refugees.
From NASA - volcanic vs solar activity: https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/st07500u.html

"volcanos erupted causing a cold period that lasted from the 1600s to the late 1800s"

Correlation vs causation - while the volcanic winter phenomenon is well-known, there are those that propose that solar activity is the primary driver of climate on Earth:

https://www.amazon.com/Neglected-Sun-Precludes-Catastrophe-I...

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/08/12/winter-is...

Not to say that the greenhouse effect is not real, or that anthropogenic CO2 does not cause warming - just that the magnitude of the effect may well be greatly over-hyped.
see another comment because it is a period that lends itself to showing a stronger increase than exist. the simple truth is that nearly every model still shows more warming than has occurred.

there were some wonderful events in the 1880s, including one of the most amazing snow storms the NY area ever saw, can you imagine fifty foot drifts?

still there is a lot of warming but when we focus on per capita it allows many of the true violators to escape notice (Read Asia (china/india/etc)). plus looking at many sources the impact of C02 ranges from 10 to 30% so how can you factor in somethings whose range is so great. I still think a lot of industrialized raising of livestock isn't fairly accounted for as methane is more dangerous than CO2

though Buffalo would again see thirty to forty foot drifts in 1977
How can I report issues? The tool tries to scan PNG files in the repo as well the .git folder of the repo as well.
I understand where you're coming from. That said, including "some derp derp conservative" in your comment makes it easy for anyone who disagrees with you to dismiss anything else you say as partisan. Similarly, the issue is climate change. Looking at a single day, no matter how extreme, is an anecdote. The debate around the science supporting climate change is difficult enough without pointing to anecdotes in support of the theory.

Given you chose to comment on this, I believe climate change is something you care about. One of the ways to be more effective in getting something done is to not leave yourself open to easy dismissal by those who disagree with you.
Does anyone know what apps you can run on the 3310 and if you can perhaps 'sideload' them? I see an 'O' - would that be Opera Mini? That would be nice, also I am not sure but wasn't there a version of Whatsapp running on the older Series 30+ Nokia phone? If so, such a phone would be ideal for hikes. Add water resistance and for 50$ you have an amazing thing in a small form factor with long battery life.
Agreed, There is also an OS alternative which essentially mirrors the functionality of propriety nginx cache purge: https://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_cache_purge

Hence you can just build it with your standing nginx binary reducing the need for miscellaneous scripts.
That gives me even less faith in the quality of findings.

Having seen the pathetic state of literature review in the various engineering fields, I cannot expect it to be better in meteorological fields. No doubt there is a certain subset of effective and critical reviewers, but I expect dogma, exciting findings, and name recognition still rule the day.

The most the volume of politics in engineering where our work is not overtly political to those outside outfield is astounding. I don't buy that in a field with so many non-expert pressures applied the review process escapes unadulterated.
No, they are not incentivized to get you a higher salary.

It doesn't matter to them whether you make +-10k$ at the end of the year. It's about the same commission for them, they just need you to accept and move to the next candidate.

If anything they are competing on price and selling you for cheaper makes it easier to place you.

Not to mention that if they only have positions and companies that pay poorly in their portfolio, they're not gonna say it.
It seems to serve approximately the same purpose as Berkeley DB.
Maybe that is the UN's position but I think most people just want energy produced cleanly which helps the environment beyond just global warming which is important for long-term economic health. And it will likely reduce respiratory illness.
Indeed, the translation is scarily good (which is on topic enough I guess). Can't believe this was auto-translated.
