It's more that you can't tell the difference between 30C and 30.5C. No one ever forecasts temperatures using decimal degrees here in Australia.

You only need decimals for highly accurate measurements, but at that point you'd need decimals for Farenheit as well.

I'm so damn sick of that stupid song. Teens constantly ruin good content with it. I should know, I did the same thing with that song when I was a teen.
I also expect I will start getting silent registration failures with this. I'm using uMatrix to block most third-party scripts, and it's usually quite clear when I have to allow extra things with traditional captchas.

Then again, it's allow-more-and-retry on many pages already so nothing new in that regard.
I've been hoping someone would write a similar tool, but using a browser, so that I could run a webapp, click around (using a checklist, to cover all of the views) and get a resulting list of used CSS rules from the browser.

That would have the advantage of supporting complex webapps written in any language/environment.
There is usually an audio version available, presumably screen readers are pre-configured to present the audio option on popular captchas by default.

I'm curious now, will have to give it a whirl when I get into the office :D

Suspect Google will rely on their vast knowledge of people's browsing habits based off IP/account/ad-tracking/browser-fingerprinting to skip the user input aspects. Although that said, a screen reader won't have the standard physical interaction clues client-side that a user is a real person, mouse tracking for ex. is probably a moot point. Not really sure how Google will handle those, or if blind users will get a degraded always-on captcha experience.

Either that or a headless screen reader becomes the scraping/botting tool of choice.
Actually to prove otherwise you just need to find traditionally "male" roles that are no longer male dominated roles. Like teachers, lawyers, or doctors. All had centuries of being male jobs.

Or find 'male' roles in some cultures that aren't in others like programming.

I think you added the wrong link, which I had assumed was a reference to your claim that "many entrepreneurs are choosing states with low or no income tax". It appears to just be a link to Federal tax brackets. Do you have something to actually back up that claim?

I ask because it's very counterintuitive -- entrepreneurs are pretty much never showing much personal income for years since it's all in equity. And by the time they are making that much personal income, they're presumably just as well off as a normal employee with that income.

The only things I ever hear about that incentivize startups to move somewhere are the (a) ecosystem of support (b) availability of low cost facilities and (c) state tax credits or grant award opportunities, such as matching grants with federal SBIR grants.

I have literally never heard an entrepreneur suggest moving to a new state because of personal income taxes. If personal income is high enough that it's a problem, they're probably well enough off that they can afford it regardless of whether they're an entrepreneur or not.

Unless maybe you're talking about how progressive taxes in general do a bad job at the whole variable income thing. I hear lots of complaints about that with regard to personal income taxes from friends who are more contractor/consulting focused. But that's also not a California thing.
I did not get a CS degree because it turned out that I didn't need to (I am a software engineer at one of the 'big' Silicon Valley companies and have upward trajectory in my career). However, learning algorithms/data structures is not easy (as you mentioned) and if you aren't the type who can sit down with a bunch of textbooks over the weekend and bulldoze through them, then a structured setting which forces you to do exactly that may benefit you. And getting formally schooled will help you from having 'gaps' in your CS education which can (and probably will) happen if you opt not to get a degree (getting a CS degree doesn't mean you won't have gaps either, actually).

And no.. I don't think about going back into law. That field is horrible.. you get saddled with debt and then you make mediocre money (even at big law firms) with insane hours. It makes me sad that people feel desperate enough to even consider it. The only type of law that is probably economically worth pursuing is patent law (in terms of work life balance) but that's really some scum of the earth type stuff, especially with software patents..

Can you cite a study that controls for time off, degree type, experience that still shows a large disparity in pay?

It's your belief that someone who works a reasonable sum of hours but then goes to have a child should be paid less.

The question isn't whether someone who takes time off to raise a child should be paid less, it is whether someone with more overall work experience should be paid more. My wife took 10 years off to raise kids. Is she entitled to the exact same salary as a co-worker who continuously worked for that time, increasing their skills? What about a 5 year gap? 1 year?

It's pretty common knowledge that 409a valuations are underestimations of real value. What isn't well known is by how much. It would be great to see VCs with 20 years of data compare how much their preferred shares were worth vs of they had held common instead. Then again, publicly available data like that might invite an SEC crackdown. Be careful what you wish for.
The only argument i ever really bought was the origin of agriculture. and even that is pretty suspect, but i still think it's a decent argument.

10,000 years ago, pretty much everyone was a hunter gatherer. Humans can survive on pretty much anything from seeds to whales. There's not really much need to control the environment to maintain a food source in that context. Yes, there will be lean years, yes there are other populations you're in competition with (but they could also be food...)

In any case, the argument goes, somebody stumbled on fermentation. The desire for regular access to whatever plant got you drunk might actually be enough to become a farmer. It's tough to say. I think it's plausible, and probably part of the whole story.

Hunter gatherers were healthier and longer lived than their farming counterparts. I think that's still true of the few hunter gatherer cultures that remain. Food security is a good reason, but for a human, especially a hunter gatherer, everything is food. Alcohol security though, that's a pretty compelling argument. Perhaps not for you personally, but i'm sure you've met people that would agree. Addiction is powerful.
Well, it's a little more complicated than that. They have extremely high state-specific variance, so it's difficult to show predictive validity. They have definitely been associated with particular sets of outcomes in non-gendered/racial contexts, where you would expect the studies to be easier to run.

This is the same in the UK, all major grocery stores (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrissons, Waitrose/Ocado) all allow you to order and either collect for free or have them delivered for between £2.50 and £5 depending on the delivery time. I can't see Instacart having a market outside of the US and even then major stores will start to offer their own delivery services with no price bump which will put Instacart out of business, at least at any reasonable size.

> 3) the existence of exceptional willpower is a mark of exceptional self-discipline, a level not practical to achieve for most; and that

I don't agree that this is what's going on.

People don't avoid obesity by exceptional willpower. They just have healthy eating habits, usually ones formed during childhood.

Likewise, overcoming obesity and returning oneself to a healthier weight that one can maintain requires changing habits and one's relationship with food.

Habit formation and modification can be difficult, but it's sufficiently well understood that it can be implemented.

The difficulty is getting information into people's hands about how to modify habits successfully (I like the book The Power of Habit), cutting through the misinformation surrounding what constitutes healthy eating habits and how to lose weight, and often just education about how to cook food cheaply and in a way that doesn't seem intimidating to people who are pressed for time and resort to fast food out of convenience.

When people know the concrete steps one must take to achieve something, they become that much more willing to believe they can do it.
The spirit of the EU directive is that you must get consent from your users before you attach third party cookies to their browsers. The setting in the browser is not enough because most people don't even know about it (not that they care about the cookie law banner). So I guess it will be the same with the captcha, if the information sent to Google can be used to track people. But I'm not a lawyer.
Resource utilization is generally a function of traffic. Why is adding more machines to a specific service's load balancer pool better than adding more machines to the monolith's load balancer pool? You're saving maybe a little bit of memory by not loading unnecessary code, but that seems inconsequential given OS level caching.

One possible argument is that you can reserve capacity by service, so a computationally expensive but unimportant endpoint doesn't accidentally gobble up the resources you added to alleviate the starvation that was slowing down a different endpoint.

But you could also do that with smarter load balancing - deploy a monolith to all hosts, but partition traffic between separate pools depending on endpoint at the load balancer level.

I don't think performance isolation is a good argument for microservices. I don't think failure isolation is either - the interactions are likely to create more, trickier failures than the isolation will prevent.

The real argument is about scaling the organization. Much easier to work on and frequently deploy small codebases with small numbers of commits and commiters per day, communicating across team boundaries via Thrift IDL files, than to have thousands of engineers on one codebase and thousands of potentially breaking changes introduced between every deploy.

It's going to depend a lot on the type of site you're building.

Thankfully frontend pipelines like React + Webpack makes it fairly easy to test this out. We spiked out generating individual JS + CSS for each view but ultimately found it wasn't worth it - individual views amounted to very little code with the bulk of the filesize taken up by the common 'core' of our application, and dependencies. We scrapped this specific idea.

What we did end up doing, however, was create a seperate stylesheet just for things required on the very minimal landing page and inject that straight into the <head>, which gave us significant speed improvements.

Please note that @glommer is talking about the classic secondary index implementation in Cassandra, which is very simple but also broken. I don't know the details but we probably did have "half-ready" code for that. We decided against going forward with it because Cassandra had already moved to SASI (which is also much more complex). As I said, we're currently focusing on materialized views, and tacking secondary indices after that.

Btw, I highly recommend subscribing to our user mailing list or engaging on Github for questions and comments about features. You'll get better and up-to-date answers there.

Update: reading @glommer's reply carefully, he explicitly says that he's unsure if we'll move forward with that specific implementation: "_if_ we do implement it, it should land in our main version in a couple of weeks" (emphasis mine).

You can publish copyright protected movies on public websites in China and won't get arrested. In the US you can get arrested for that.

Different countries have different freedoms. If you think political speech is the most important freedom, then good for you, but some people think being free to have whatever they want without paying is even better.

You can't call for genocide in the US if you're too specific. That's part of what's not counted as free speech. Nor can you publish information like what Snowden and Manning did, nor information protected by an NDA, nor threaten to kill someone. There's a long list of what you're not allowed to say in America. Sure it's largely a subset of what you're not allowed to say in China or Iran, but it's not exactly a subset.

In short, you're defining free speech to be the specific and narrow meaning that has evolved over hundreds of years of US politics and law. That's only one arbitrary way to define it.

Even worse. In America in the '60's and 70's, civilians were forced to fight in the Vietnam war! You would be imprisoned if you didn't go to war. That's the extreme opposite of freedom. Today, there's a huge amount of unjustified imprisonment of innocent people. Again, that's the opposite of freedom.

For etcd benchmarking we used the 'benchmark' tool from etcd's source (commit d62ce55, ~3.1.0-rc1). AFAIK that tool does use the v3 api.

The paper was completed before etcd 3.1 was released. etcd's docs stated (at that time) that the client is not linearizable. We only tested writes.

As for performance, it's hard to say if our results pair up with the official etcd results (we were not aware of them - were they published at the time?). The hardware & software setup used for benchmarking is different.

I'd always assumed they spent a large amount of their time sifting through Fake Leaks from well-meaning cranks, internet trolls and various agencies trying to poison the well, looking for stuff they could corroborate to some degree.

I didn't actually check the timelines, so I could be well wide of the mark here, but had assumed these leaks were published after the NYT article about the frequency of North Korean missile failures went out too, which would lend a degree of public legitimacy to the leak.
If calorie counting is dead simple for you, then that must mean you know precisely how much you're consuming.

If you're gaining 10-15lbs per year, then you know how much you're overconsuming. An annual gain of 15 lbs * 3500 Calories per pound of fat is about 150 Calories per day over your TDEE.

Reduce your daily caloric intake by 250-500 Calories and you should see weight loss over the long term.

If not, and you actually do know exactly how many calories you're consuming and have been tracking your weight to see how it changes, then you need to see a physician.

Can't really talk about features on here. Any smart fraudster should be watching every single thing I say :)

We're using logistic regression not because it performs the best, but because it's the most understandable. When cases get flagged for manual review people need to know exactly what seems dodgy about the account, and with Logistic Regression you can read the exact contribution from each feature to the final fraud probability. Seen as the features mean something real and tangible (unlike in neural nets), this means a manual reviewer immediately knows which aspects of someone's behaviour are out of the ordinary when they get presented with a new case (we have a really nice internal UI for presenting this). This saves several minutes per case which really adds up.

Performance-wise Logistic Regression is good, but it can't automatically learn non-linearities in a feature value and its propensity for fraud, and it can't learn about two features that together should indicate a probability of fraud greater than the sum of its parts* . If this becomes a problem for us we'll start looking into nonlinear models where the inner workings are somewhat communicable to the manual review team.

* You can alter feature definitions manually to capture nonlinearities (e.g. a feature which is "user_has_done_x_and_has_done_y_too", but this is very very manual, and needs to be potentially rewritten/manually re-optimised on every retrain. We don't do this.
