The problem is time.

There aren't that many multibeam sonar vessels in the world. They acquire data over narrow swaths. Mapping all ocean basins with multibeam would take a long time. I've always heard estimates of a few hundred years, though those were based on total the number of academic multibeam vessels operating 24/7. Obviously, it scales with the number of vessels you have doing it, so a large-scale coordinated effort that built lots of new, single-purpose vessels could take significantly less.

At any rate, the cost of one survey made with one ship is not a good way to estimate the total cost, unless you're willing to wait a _really_ long time.

Isn't this a similar effect to lifespan? We say the average lifespan is increasing, but in fact its the effect of most people reaching their normal lifespan (instead of dying early).

So as income falls into a more uniform distribution (more folks have access to most common jobs) we see 'mobility' decrease. The same as 'lifespan mobility' has decreased (folks no longer living longer than their parents). Its a good thing.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your feed back.

1.) hmm.. I did not understand this point

2.) This should be the time that is moving - as it continues you are losing the time and you should act quickly in order not to lose the opportunity to answer correctly and to get the coins

3.) thank you for your suggestions. we will think about this

4.) noted

5.) it is because the length of text strings in the boxes differ - but I agree with you that fixed boxes could improve UX

6.) once there is a demand for one language combination we aim to drastically increase the available music

7.) good point - we are working on this - since the complexity of our product is considerably higher than that of other platforms in this niche it is not that trivial. we would need a full infrastructure compared to Duolingo to monitor and steer the user generated input

8.) we are working hard to adjust Linguician to the level of the user - also with Machine Learning - the refore we need some user data first - I am sorry for this

9.) noted

10.) competely agree - we are working hard to fix that one

11.) noted

12.) the idea here is to collect user data and at one point be able to deliver content that is more targeted to the level of the user

13.) on the phone this is not yet the case

14.) completely agree - we have these views on our server - they are not yet released on the platform

15.) this is our coin symbol - we thought it is clear but apparently it is not - thank you for the hint

16.) yes, this process does not work so smoothly as once imagined - we are working hard to improve the quality

Thank you very much for you feedback - it is super relevant and we will study it in detail!!

RIP RP.

For those who are interested, a little more info to contribute...

RP, apparently though I can't substantiate, was tested as having a "Genius level IQ" as an early child.

After reading both ZMM and LILA carefully, I believe he has gotten as close as anyone to a philosophy that explains humanity and blends successfully eastern and western history and perspective on such.

LILA is the serious effort and a far more important book, though it has gone largely ignored.

I would have liked to see less mainstream artists and more underground artists.

Hip hop, by definition, at least to me, is more of an underground culture evolving from jazz, funk and poetry. I also think most people have heard these songs because they are pretty widespread on the radio, like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Outkast, Drake, Beastie Boys... etc.

A better introduction would be to move through different hip hop periods to show how the sound has evolved as the genre has matured, including artists that are actually in it for the art and not solely for the money.

>I am just wondering if anyone will disclose their current killer acquisition hacks.

I was also confused by this statement, but for a different reason. There is, of course, a mixture of a science and an art in promoting one's own product - but in the end, it should catch on if it actually provides value. A "hack" in this context sounds to me like what you'd call some sort of trick to peddle a product that isn't meant to provide value.
I know, but almost every site has sign-in and sign-up link at the home page. I am a developer, but was confused how to sign up. I thought it was some kind of invitation model... I do not see any problem with putting a sign up link on the homepage. The more ways for your to sign up, the better.
Doesn't address the "computer science" part. Assuming the writer just meant "science". The laptop bomb has to be pretty small, so the terrorist's plan is to get a window seat and place it against the hull.

That's why it is undesirable to have it in the cargo area...they have no control over placement. Also, the cargo area requires something other than a manual trigger, which is either complex, or error prone.

Edit: Please note that I'm not endorsing a laptop ban.
Legislation when it comes to PII data in the U.S is notoriously weak. Without that it's the only place to prosecute these companies is in the court of public opinion (better then nothing).

We have some laws for PII when it comes to health care data. Even those are comically bad... where hospitals, insurers, medical providers routine lose data (paper or electronic) and get away with small fines. On the other hand legitimate research doesn't have access to this data. It's even hard on an opt in basis.

On the other hand some industries do a lot of security/compliance theater. You have a bunch of accountants that figure out they can do compliance shake downs (SAS 70, SSAE 16, SOC, ...). A lot of times you're required to have these to be able to do business with other large businesses. Most of the time it's a checkbox more so then any kind of business processes.

My wife's old employer worked in a HIPAA required insutry, did all their SAS 70, SSAE 16, SOC, ... Then the next tax season after she left she got a letter in the mail saying that an employee got phished (real dumb phish too) for all their payroll data. My wife got 2 years of credit card monitoring and "please be vigilant this tax season" communication.

TL;DR: Laws are weak, enforcement is weak, fines are low.

It need not be stated that McCarthy's work is some of the most powerful and well crafted fiction of the twentieth century, but this article came off as a little strange and underdone. He has a few insights, but he jumps between ideas without connecting them and doesn't provide much backing for his arguments. The conclusion too is terribly weak: McCarthy presents his central idea (that the unconscious isn't used to language so it speaks in symbols), he mentioned it to someone he respects, the listener responded favorably, case closed. Really? Its a fresh viewpoint but there seems like so much more to explore here, so many more questions raised by the conclusion than those addressed. For once his art of omission has worked against him.

> you should be able to afford a decent apartment on minimum income anywhere in the country.

I think most people would love to live in a world where that's true but it's pretty far from where we are.

> Salary shouldn't be dependent on (desired) living conditions, but on experience and value added

That's leaving out half of the equation: value added sets the upper bound for what a company can afford to pay you but they're going to negotiate down to make a profit. The seller has the same maximum cap but they're going to negotiate up and fixed costs are a key part of that – since in reality food, housing, education, etc. costs vary widely people who live somewhere like SF are going to factor that in because the alternative is moving somewhere less unbalanced.

I almost always start with thinking about where the bug is likely to be, then doing some print/log debugging to confirm or reject my suspicions. I find it pretty effective and simple to do.

I'll break out a debugger if all else fails, but it's not my first choice.

> Surely we could've made better use of the Unicode space […]

There is plenty of space.

Keep in mind that one of the goals of Unicode is to be able to represent existing corpora of text by means of a global standard. Emoji were in widespread use in Japanese mobile phones long before smartphones existed; that alone legitimises their presence in the Unicode standard.

Like a dictionary, the Unicode standard is in a large part descriptive rather than prescriptive. It catalogues what is in use, not what ought to be used. However, recent emoji contributions do seem to have been made in the spirit of filling lacunae in the set.

Reminds me of this paper I found a few years ago : http://caoxiang.net/papers/chi2012_beyondstereo.pdf
My daily notes:

- Exercises I made today, with a few details (how it was going, why maybe I failed, why maybe that exercise was so easy).

- What I ate today and what made it good / how can I improve.

- Money spent, what made it good / how can I improve.

- How did I spent my free time (developed something, worked on a side project, what did I do, what could I've made).

- Random thoughts and ideas.

Instead of just put info there without detail, I try to "explain to myself" a little bit, helping myself when I check them later.

Funny how it helped me a lot when I got bored. Well, if I have nothing to do, maybe I might just check my own notes to see what I wanted to do days ago.
