Single payer != universal health care.

Single payer is likely no not work in the US, but there are plenty of other solutions out there.

Europe has universal health care, not every country has single payer the UK and France do, NL and Germany do not.

Also in all honesty unless you have cancer or something else which completely degenerative the NHS is garbage that no one outside of the low income brackets wants to deal with.

Yes, I've seen the comments you're referring to - can't remember if they're in the book YEAGER or elsewhere. There was certainly a tension between the Air Force test pilots and the NACA/NASA research pilots. Both Yeager and Pete Knight expressed opinions that their civilian counterparts were more interested in the technical side of research than flying and lacked the skill and experience that the Air Force pilots had. Having said that most of the civilian pilots had prior military combat experience so were clearly capable at what they did.

With regards to the XB-70 incident, in retrospect it seems foolish that a close formation flight was attempted with the wings in their down position as these created huge vortices. Also the weather was poor that day (Walker had commented to a colleague that it was 'a bad day for flying' but he had to 'get this thing done')

My friend has dual U.S.-Swedish citizenship. It's crazy to think, but a few times now he's actually flown out to Sweden to have a medical procedure performed, because it's _cheaper_ to get an international round-trip ticket to Sweden then it would be to just have the procedure done in the U.S. (where he lives). And it's never been anything big; just outpatient type stuff.

The U.S. healthcare system _is_ totally out of control.
I've been a developer for 10+ years and this is very much in focus at the customer I work for at the moment, where we've created a login portal for our end-users. Recently this design pattern has spread to other sites as well. Over 50% of our users are on mobile devices and almost all of them are traveling. So our services needs to be fast, unobtrusive, responsive and capture just enough of user information. With as little cognitive impact on the user as possible. Travelling is stressful enough as it is without having to potentially struggle with bad UX on a website when you just want to see your flight details.

So the Login page, Forgot password page, Create user page etc. are all asking for one single piece of information at a time, with a clear single call-to-action. This interaction design pattern really works nice when you're conscious about the context the user is in. Be careful not to go overboard with the minimalism though. You still need a good page title, breadcrumb, texts and labels to explain the context where the form is shown.

Example:

When the user has logged-in to your website to shop, have a random step after sign-in that asks for a single piece user information (delivery address, phone number etc.) before they continue. It must be very easy to dismiss, unobtrusive, and easy to understand why you're asking. Some will enter their information, some will do it later. And that's ok because now they had the power of choice. And when they're ready to create an order, the time-to-order (conversion rate) will decrease because some of the information has been pre-filled.

Designing forms for data-capture is difficult and you need to decide on when it is appropriate to ask the user for the information you need.

I've made those God-forms before but never again. Serving the user a God-form with dozens of required input fields, however optimized for data-entry as you'd like, will only add to your drop rate, it will annoy the user and by re-designing how you capture user information you will improve your site's UX (and probably increase your profit as well!)

When designing a form next time, ask yourself: Do I have to ask the user for all of this information right now all at once, or can I capture this information in the context of the user working towards an end goal in other areas of my site?

Please tell me more about my privilege.

Please tell me about all the times you've had to fear for your life during spurious, random traffic stops.

Please tell me about all the times your value as a human being has been determined solely based upon your appearance.

Please tell me about all the times you were deemed mentally incapable on the basis of a purely physical disability.

EDIT: The word "privilege" as it's used in this context is meant to describe the things that you, personally, do not have to deal with in life, but (broadly) only those things over which people have no control — race, sex, disability, &c.

You aren't black, so you don't have to worry about getting shot by a racist cop, when you were just going about your normal, daily life.

You aren't a woman, so you don't have to worry about how deeply whether people think you're a worthwhile person or not is tied up in how you look. (Let alone having to worry rather less about the radically greater incidence of physical and sexual assault they face.)

You aren't (presumably) physically or (obviously) mentally disabled. Full stop.

You don't have to worry about all of the shit that comes along with those things. You have that "privilege". That's what that word means in a social justice context, not what you seem to think it does.

We also set our fans to constant 70% min, to keep the airflow good.

On some servers we introduced the GTX 1080, either along-side a K40/K80 or two per chassis (see http://arnon.dk/how-does-the-nvidia-gtx-1080-stack-up-agains...).

They actually work 15% faster on average compared to the Tesla K series (Remember it's a 5 year old card), but they just stop working after a few months, or return inconsistent results for some operations.

Now, we're not doing graphics with them. We have a GPU database called SQream DB - and we depend on the results to be correct. In the end, they didn't make a lot of sense for us to deploy in a production environment, so back to the Tesla series we went.

Sorry, since the DAO fiasco I don't see Ethereum having any purpose. If a poorly written/unfair contract should be invalidated, I would rather have e the judicial system with hundreds of years of jurisprudence make that decision, than a few people at Ethereum.
As I mentioned in a reply to a comment about another text-only platform, not allowing photos and videos will not attract many users. There will be a small niche of users, but it won't become massive without those. It'd be quite similar to web based forums and discussion platforms. I hope you can figure out how to keep the platform running while allowing non-text content.
They don't need to be, at sample sizes in the 100,000s. Most of these studies are not even using IQ tests but "years of education" which is a measure of IQ with a laughably large standard error - but with very large sample sizes very precise estimates can be made of the effect of a particular SNA on the affected people's intelligence.

How to boost productivity with noise UK

I wish we had such a paper for programming.
Which, it bears repeating, is no different to AlphaGo than if it had won by 14 points—it is programmed only to win, not to give any preference to larger margins of win. And being so expert at reading the board, it will often sacrifice that margin of victory for even the smallest increase in overall win percentage, leading to many "close" games like this.

That said, I totally appreciate Ke Jie actually taking one of these live matches to the bitter end so we could see the counting process play out.

Partially that scheme seems to be an attempt to engage DPRK in some kind of dialog to prevent an unstable dictatorship with nuclear weapons and a lot of artillery that can reach Seoul from causing bad damage.

But given that utilising or even tolerating slave labourers on the ground in democratic nations is such a shameful thing, it might be better to actually let DPRK be completely isolated from global economy and not allow any of these arrangements. Even if that results in more misery for the people in DPRK.

> intentional leading of someone's behavior

That definition encompasses almost any human interaction. When I politely ask you to pass the salt, I sure hope to lead your behavior. Is this manipulation?
I think that's not a wise thing to do against a stronger player.

Stronger players actually start complicated fights to prevail through superior reading.

It is possible however to win like this against a stronger player, if you make effective use of time management... e.g: leave lots of aji, then force fights with complicated variations when the opponent has limited time (e.g: towards the end game) to force mistakes or winning by time. These tricks are informally known as "timesujis".
Unfortunately, lots of site break the back button making this a problem.

Ke Jie lost 14-7 by FineArt recently (Tencent's Go bot) [1], but 13-0 in the last games (an update to the bot?) so it would really interesting to see the two bots playing each other. I watched this game [2] of FineArt against Japan's Ichiri Ryo yesterday (1-0) and it seems that FineArt has a different way of playing than AlphaGo, more fighting, but that's only one game.

> Any system that guarantees productivity isn't Turing complete. All useful algorithms are productive.

But it does not follow that all useful algorithms can be implemented on a language that "guarantees productivity". Turing proved that the halting problem cannot be solved on a Turing machine. This opens the possibility for the existence of programs that might be "productive" in your sense, but might also never stop, and it is not possible to know in advance.

> The only thing you can do with a non-productive algorithm is convert electricity to heat.

I am not convinced of this at all. Perhaps true if you are talking about banking systems or web applications, but probably not true if you are talking about AI. Intermediary states of an endless computation might be interesting. Maybe this is a way to obtain unbounded creativity. Maybe this is the way to build minds. We don't know enough.

A more general observation: I find that we live in an era that is too obsessed with productivity at the cost of fundamental research, dreaming and imagination. I am convinced that the latter mindset is the only one that can bring qualitative changes to our culture and civilisation, and I think that our long-term survival depends on such qualitative jumps.

Of course, I also understand that someone has to take care of the plumbing...

This person or their parents probably had to deal with exactly that. They may even have first hand experience with genocide.

If you don't have to worry about all the shit that comes along with those things then you have privilege, regardless of your skin color.
Sure, I have been searched through customs in different countries.

I have not been in a traffic stop ever but I had been under fire (from military, not quite police so maybe not as scary?), does it count?

>Please tell me about all the times your value as a human being has been determined solely based upon your appearance.

I imagine you did not think this one through, you are actually implying my value as a human being has been determined high based on my appearance.

PS.
Seeing your edit, how is it related to being enslaved for generations and oppressed after that? I have all rights to be afraid of racist cops of different color. I am not a woman so my chances of assault and murder are way higher, check out statistic before repeating ignorance. And yes, I am not disabled, are you saying everyone else is???
Well, everyone is competing with everyone else, so singling out these two groups seems like clickbait.

Still, the article does note that baby boomers are downsizing, whereas millennials are foregoing starter homes. So one could argue that baby boomers are outbidding millennials. But I don't see that point explicitly made.
Was there a "move 37" type moment in this match for you? Or are all of AlphaGo's best tricks already "old hat" after the Master series?
While a lot of comments revolve around the efficacy of accurately monitoring for T1/2 diabetes and the past noninvasive trials and tribulations thereof, consider that the market for such a product is very limited by Apple's measure (10's of millions for an addressable market, versus billions for phones/watches). It seems much more interesting if they were chasing a general metabolic health or pre-diabetic application where the annoyance and lethargy of the FDA/medical community can be skipped entirely.
Whether a joseki is even or not depends on the context. However, when a joseki is played, it is considered to produce an even result by both players in that specific situation; otherwise, trivially, they would not play that way. The latter was precisely Redmond's point.

Same here, s an example, all ORM's have to model the same abstractions for example, so after you've worked with one, the next is MUCH easier to pick up. Same with MVC frameworks, etc. There's a lot of convergence among languages and frameworks now.

It's possible to be pseudo-anonymous to a good extent, but full anonymity from FB while having a network of close friends, relatives and colleagues and interacting with them is not possible. Many people who use FB share their entire contacts/address book with it (this includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, etc.). FB can use that information easily to figure out who you may be, collect and correlate information and target ads for you.
Elitism needs people to be unequal. That will weaken as an ideology when people can copy each other's genes. Inequality might still be retained by carefully guarding information and knowledge that confers an advantage.
This, a thousand times this.

I can't really explain here why I'm in this situation for a few reasons (particularly anonymity - if my employer finds out I've said any of this I'll be fired and his "friends" will come for a visit), but here's what I can say:

my employer is a thief. Tax fraud, wage theft, copyright violation. Staff are expendable, and routinely fired for not working certain shifts (illegal, because the staff are hired for differing shifts and are not required to work extra). Contract fraud, multiple different types of harassment and abuse of staff, as well as threats against personal safety.

Basically, anything he can get away with to pocket a few dollars, he will do. I'm sure you can imagine that minimum wage is, to him, a target; if it didn't exist, he would pay us much less.

What keeps him in business is powerful friends in government (in a country with "low levels of corruption") who seem to help complaints get lost rather than actioned, and the local gangs who will have a chat with anybody who gets out of line.
I suspect it's also likely that AlphaGo continues thinking during the human's turn, and is more able than a human to effectively use its opponent's time to frontload certain computations.
The peace in Europe today is a direct result of nato and the threat of invasion from the soviets during the 50s through early 90s. You gotta remember that the Americans occupied western Germany up until reunification (we still have huge military bases in germany) and provided finances to pretty much every european country during their reconstruction periods after the devastation of the world under thr conditions of alliance against communism . Europe hasn't been in a place to fight eachother again because of threat of Soviet invasion and forced alliances with eachother under the American umbrella.

Edit: also how can European peace have come from before American hegemony when American hegemony was a direct result of the European powers destroying eachother in a world war?

Invariably for questions like this, I think the answer is that you need to go out and see what else is available. Get your resumé up to date, send it to organisations that interest you, attend interviews.

Just going through that process should help you understand where you want/need to be. When you get offers for alternative positions and have met the teams that you could be working with, then you'll know whether you should stay or leave.

Some good tips and a good reminder not to overload the user with information, especially on mobile.

However, trying to give this pattern a new name feels a bit disingenuous - it comes across as self promotional (even if unintended).

This is a well established pattern already and it's known as a Wizard - guiding users, chunking information, etc -- IBM talked about this back in 2001 [0]

And they wrote a 400 page book about this called Designing Effective Wizards [1]

I see this quite often in our industry, people trying to coin a new name for something when one already exists.

Please don't.
