>>and so I was tempted away in early 2013 when Apple released its second-generation 15" Retina MacBook Pro.

>So, you're merely 3 years of the platform, but have an opinion on how Apple "pivoted its attention" regarding OS released based on just a couple of OSes? Because I've been here since 10.2 and most releases weren't about breakthrough features, but refinement and minor changes (often regressions).

Exactly. Sigh. Kids these days. That is like the complain about Webkit being the new IE, without actually experiencing Web Development during the IE era, and falsely claiming IE era means IE 7+, then later acknowledged he wasn't even doing Web Development in IE7! time. Anyway......

There are lots of new fans into the Apple Ecosystem since iPhone. And without the RDF from Steve they quickly lose sight of Apple's greatest strength. Apple is the master of iteration! Very rarely will you see a completely new product CAT being introduced. They just continue to iterate. Sometimes taking two steps forward and one step back.

I agree Apple have spend less time with Mac and specially Desktop in General, but most of the point in article were not convincing.

I'm afraid you're not very good at explaining yourself, I've no idea what point you're trying to make.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but any moderately complex LOB CRUD app usually has a large amount of far more complex algos than a binary sort. Your off-hand comment shows a total ignorance of what's involved in writing a LOB CRUD web app.

In my experience, algos are the really easy part of programming. The hard part is managing complexity.

The value of that meeting is network not mentoring IMO. Building a company is mostly a freeform exercise, where the elements which become part of your success are really subtle.

IMO what you will find the most is that luck has a proportionally large part to do with your success.

Google is a search engine for finding webpages, not facts. Thats where this "fake" news story should end. This is not a political problem, its a societal one, and you are barking up the wrong tree.

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world. It is not authoritative, and anyone who treats it as such, should be educated to the facts of what it is, and is not. Just because its moderated to be supported by links to facts, doesn't mean that every bit of content is free of bias and the whole truth. Its generally accepted that this is the case. Same thing goes for Snopes, and some other fact checking sites. They are generally looked to for a reasonable amount of truthfulness based on reputation. Same could be said for various media outlets, based on your preference and bias.

Social media sites and search engines are not responsible to tailor their content to fit your expectations of what truth or reality are. Stop being a child.

"but, people expect to be able to Google something and results and snippets be the truth!"

Well, thats a problem for sure.

How about we try and fix that expectation instead? Feel free to teach your children and anyone you know who uses the internet, that (surprisingly) anyone from anywhere can still get online and post anything at any time, and you should fact check multiple places and resources instead of trusting the first result from your favorite search engine.

"but by offering snippets of results from programmatically generated search results (which is super handy 99% of the time) Google is publishing false truths!"

Right, and you can probably still Google bomb the image search to show an image you want based on a certain search term, its the internet not your personal fact butler, no matter how its advertised. Its 2017 and common sense and intelligence are still recommended for most tasks.
Some people who act or otherwise perform are basically introverted but do o.k. on stage or in front of the camera.

>I think the bottom line is that "high IQ" people will tend to have more capability to break white collar crimes, and will do so with better cover (lawyers, special accounting etc...).

I want to challenge this a bit. With common crimes, its obvious you're committing a crime. Breaking into someone's home, mugging, etc are clearly victimization.

Now compare that to a technical crime that may or may not be a crime depending on which judge you get or how a jury decides to interpret a regulatory bill that's hundreds of pages long and can only be understood by a team of experts who most likely don't agree with each other. Or the creation of a new kind of investment vehicle no one has seen before. Or starting a new industry that no one understands. It becomes very difficult to equate these with street criminals who go into something knowingly they're breaking the law and acting unethically compared to a technical violation of something incredibly complex. More often than not, these kinds of things only become illegal well after their creation. So we're talking more about doing novel things and the lag between doing and regulation. That's not really crime.

For example for a tech industry perspective, how many patent laws has even your most hobbyist of coders violated? The Linux kernel was analyzed a few years back and found to be potentially infringing on over 200 patents, for example. So anytime we monetize linux we're potentially 'white collar criminals.'

I think it's part of the core, but I haven't tried to disable it before; that may be possible.

However, it is dependent upon the search query: https://www.google.com/search?q=flat+earth doesn't show it, for example.

Perhaps only queries in the form of a question show it.

But yes, it is a piece of shit and they should get rid of it if they aren't going to curate the kind of content that can get put in those boxes.
I'm impressed by the geographical distribution. Yes there's a concentration in the SF Bay Area, but it's much less on a percentage basis than the distribution of startup finding as a whole.
What most people are describing here is, to me, an almost alien culture.

Where I work in the UK it's common to socialise after work with colleagues (I'd rather call them friends) regularly after work. It's not usually sponsored by the employer and we rarely talk about work or our workplace unless something noteworth is happening there. It's not just current colleagues either. People who have moved on in their employment don't cease being friends.

However, my cousin works in the USA (not SV) and has met with frustration in trying to organise after-work activities as people there do not seem comfortable socialising with their workmates. To me, that's a shame, but I can understand that some like to keep their business lives apart from their social lives.

The thing is that in my experience, features behind flags, are not always a per customer artifact.

Or maybe they should be and out implementation of feature flags should always take the current customer into consideration...

Yeah, meanwhile, you're going to have cases where you sent someone to prison(or perhaps killed them) and have absolutely no reason to believe the verdict was undeserved. Everyone thinks that the court cases will go like this.

Judge: Did you obtain this evidence illegally?
Prosecution: Yes we did, your honor.
Judge: Okay, trial on that starts Monday.

No...you'll have to legally make it so the exclusionary rule is not a defense...i.e, the number of times that this is even brought up will inevitably diminish to 0. Admittedly, it does exist, but the legal system tries it damnest to remove gray areas. At the very least, you will need a legal test to prove that the evidence was not manufactured. You know of any?
I was laughed off of HN when I suggested a few years ago that YC was en route to becoming the world's first true 21st century university.

Applying pg's question of "What Microsoft Is this the Altair Basic of" to YC itself, the answer to me has always been a modern university. From the regular cohorts, to nascent investment in basic research, to residential component, to doing things that make a big impact on the world, to being highly profitable (yes, elite higher ed. is a fantastic business), always seemed to me that all the ingredients were there.

This is yet another small step in that direction.
I'm a lot older than that, sadly. ;)
>Even something seemingly simple such as saying "is point C to the left or right of the line A->B" is very hard in floating point.

Is it? ie - construct a normal and take a dot product. That'll work the vast majority of the time. Near the line you'll start running into the FP precision limits. With 64 (...or even 32) bit floats that sort of distance is likely way smaller than anything that represents a practical distance, so just call it and say you are on the line. Of late I've been messing about with problems of this nature and I can't say it's been all that difficult. https://github.com/deadsy/sdfx

You really think a fork will help here? Can you explain a bit more how do you think a fork will work out?
> It seems to square with the fact that high IQ people commit fewer crimes;

Do you see the problem with your statement here. The word crime is a selection bias filter. You automatically assumed that high IQ people committed less crime and immediately discounted they get caught less for crime.

These styles of biases are rife in law enforcement communities. For example the idea that (poor|ignorant|minority) groups do more drugs than the average person. Therefore the police search those groups more and when they find drugs it is a justification for their behavior. Meanwhile studies outside of law enforcement show that illegal drug use across all spectrums of wealth, IQ, and race are similar.

Also, another similar observation is the saying "You're likely to be murdered by someone you know 70% of the time". The problem with that statement is it only take in account solved murders. The other 33% (or way higher in some places) of cases that are unsolved are not counted in that statistic. If we had perfect information on who committed a murder we might say that "50% of the time you are murdered by someone you know". This may have a major influence on how cases are handled. Juries are lead to believe that in the majority of cases it is someone the murderer knew and they become biased against the charge. If it was a 50/50 thing a jury may not be as willing to pin a conviction on circumstantial evidence. That said, it may also be that those 70% of murder cases that convict someone the victim knew are correct and murdering someone you know is a good way to get caught.

tl;dr, be careful using law enforcement statistics. Systemic bias in law enforcement procedure can make them invalid.

I'm not a Go programmer as I like my languages baroque, overcomplicated and with ridiculously overpowered generic systems [1], but there value in simplicity and maybe a macro system would be a better fit for go than fully featured generics.

[1] yes, I'm a C++ programmer
I think basically unlimited borrowing has a lot to do with this.
I'm intrigued by these sorts of studies - not coming from a statistical background I'm amazed by how few samples they need to draw conclusions. If you told me you only had 341 events in your A/B test I'd be suspicious of the results you were claiming. (Note: I don't do A/B tests professionally so I may not know what I'm talking about...)

They do mention " Random coefficient mixed models accounted for surgeon variability" in the summary so maybe that's sufficient.
This is absolutely true, the standard library is very easy to read and this makes using Go very pleasant. When you compare this with C and the libc, the contrast is striking.

It turns out it was my DNS settings. It was trying to lookup ai.company-name.com without the period.
Coding without generics turns out to have many advantages. Mostly code bases that need to evolve rapidly without getting locked in to abstractions that don't fit anymore. It certainly is a mindset shift, and may be better at scale, but it's also more tedious and sometimes you just want a freaking Foo<Bar>.
There are ways to address this. If you ask for the diameter of the earth there will be an abundance of authoritative and information information. If you ask for something like is Obama imposing martial law and you return a passage from some conspiracy blog then maybe you shouldn't be highlighting this as a OTA. At the very least they could put some kind of confidence bar and a link to a directory of competing sources.
I suspect the two pragmatic points to take away are:

> Many of Oleson’s respondents discussed the alienating effects of their high intelligence; social maladjustment could be a possible explanation for their elevated crime rates.

> Another issue is that the bulk of his gifted cohort was recruited from a private high-IQ society, and people who join such clubs might not represent highly intelligent people in general.

To that last point, this has the same vague smell of the kind of study whose participants were from the college it was sponsored by and so as he says it should be taken as preliminary and I'd add with a large grain of salt.
This was an unexpected benefit of the Pomodoro technique for me. I ended up walking around during the forced breaks and it definitely reduced the physical stresses imposed by coding days.
I feel like whenever I'm forced to dig into my node_modules folder I come out with a greater understanding (and a headache or two for my troubles).
"Light-guns are likely gone no matter what, or at least going to be inconsistent and hard to use,"

If I am correct about how the LCDs could be redesigned to work, I can imagine a world where you're paying about 1ms + the actual liquid crystal latency for the display which can apparently also be in low-single-digit milliseconds, which is probably good enough even for frame-perfect fighting games, but you're still going to have a screen that is fundamentally persistent rather than a scanning flash of light. (Possibly 3 or 4 ms if you're going to do some basic CRT emulation. Such emulation wouldn't be able to do full screen distortions induced by too much brightness, but even in the CRT era that was considered a failure, not a feature. It should be able to do slight persistence and local blurring.)
Not, but local people could be allowed to harvest firewood in the area for example. There are also a problem with the radius. People do not need to walk until your exact point to see that there is not a rhino in the area. They will typically use a spyglass.

Maybe you would need to put a fake sleeping rhino model or so to have a real proof.

Is a terrific idea in any case, I will love to see that acomplished, but there are some interesting technical obstacles to solve first.
Same here... it was my cue to laugh and hang up.
The solution is reversing the current.

This is a stop-gap that attenuates the problem until people discover some way of getting the actual solution.
Honestly why would a shrink care? "Hey doctor, I considered doing this thing once and decided it was a bad idea." "Yep, that would have been horrible -- good job!"

I mean seriously, are we so constrained by society that we aren't even allowed to consider things? I guarantee I am not the only decent person who has considered that I could take a life and decided against it. It's probably a daily occurrence in some fields.

I think I'm the only go user who doesn't like them :) IMO they mix up separate concerns, use an ad-hoc syntax and end up a mess in complex apps, it's like a whole other language stuffed into a string and defined by random lib authors. A field might have json, xml, db tags all in one string. But there's no chance they'll be removed.
What utter garbage. Not to put too fine a point on it, this isn’t a survey of the high IQ population; it’s a survey of high IQ losers.

The sample is drawn from a high IQ club. You won’t find many Nobel laureates, brilliant engineers and so on in these clubs. Why would they bother? They have nothing to prove and better things to do with their time.

Broadly speaking, people join a high IQ club because their performance on standardized tests is the ONLY thing they have going for them.

And by the way, the average IQ of the sample was 149, so many must have been below that score. Smart, but not exactly Hannibal Lecter.
As a huge gamer, yea, that type of input makes sense _on a controller_ type form. In the middle of a keyboard doesn't make sense _on a gaming_ focused machine.
I imagine that the revenue per hour of call time isn't that great either. So this kind of scam works better in an area with lower average wages.

Android nowadays marks calls as "suspected spam", worked great. In general, if it's important enough, the caller leaves a message. Otherwise, it's not important and I don't care about it.

Uhm, people like me review the research, i.e., unpaid anonymous peer reviewers from the academic middle field. Not even the editor in chief is paid for this very time consuming job, at least not the ones I know who are editors in chief and area editors for major Springer journals.

Most journals nowadays do not even do basic linguistic editing but instead let the authors choose highly expensive services for it. They expect you to deliver a camera-ready copy based on their LaTeX or Word templates and then send it to final copy editing to India. (Source: My own experience with very nice and professional Indian copy-editors, and I would like to stress that there is nothing wrong with sending articles to India for copy-editing, of course.)
