Sailing on the Mediterranean, which is very nearly an inland sea and has almost negligible tides, is an entirely different proposition from sailing on the Channel, which acts as a funnel for storms barrelling through from the Atlantic to the North Sea and vice versa. For an extreme example, see the Great Storm of 1987 [0], where winds reached hurricane force.

The Royal Yachting Association (UK governing body for all sailing sports) used to, and for all I know still does, regard the Med as inland waters, at least inasmuch as a dinghy-sailing instructor's certificate gained on the Med would not bear the coastal endorsement it would have had it been gained on the UK coast.

Agreed, streaming algorithms and sketches are a fascinating topic. The article's author, Graham Cormode, has been conducting research in that area for a long time and is one of the co-authors of the Count-Min Sketch paper.

Basically a Count-Min Sketch is the same thing as an undersized counting Bloom filter, but it's used quite differently. This allows for loads of interesting operations. First, there's the estimated number of occurrences of an element (how often has it been added?), but it can do more complex things as well, such as quantiles and heavy hitters.
Actually I am against machine learning. It only makes the debugging more difficult. There should be simple rules and not some classifier one cannot understand without a math degree.

> Sexism is a quality of a (social) situation where women's power is diminished compared to men.

Or the other way around. Not super relevant for this discussion, but I feel it's important in the understanding of sexism to keep in mind that the discrimination can swing both ways. (In fact, sexism where men are discriminated against often _also_ end up hurting women, which is a phenomenon that holds for many issues related to sexism -- it's in the interest of both genders to get rid of this problem).

I know there are probably some very good evolutionary explanations for human beings, but to a complete layman like me, the difference between human and ape intelligence are way too much to attribute to an accident of natural selection.

Best i recall, even if you whitelist a CDN it only comes into action if you whitelist the root domain of the site you are visiting.

Beyond that i guess there is GRE, where you can build "firewall" rules.

For example i have Facebook blocked via it unless i visit Facebook.com directly, thus they don't see me browsing all manner of sites via their like buttons and comment boxes.

Actually what we need is an electoral system in which everyone can feel like their vote was counted.
I agree with your assessment. You are quoting a lot of examples that are blatant examples of sexism, it just varies in which contexts each gender has more power.

This just underscores the need for fighting sexism in all its forms! And it is also a good idea to not get stuck in the mindset that sex discrimination is something that only impacts women negatively -- this is far from the truth.

Too much subsidies in farming business. No true capitalism. When I see how much of EU money goes to farmers, it's ridiculous. It funds the destruction of rainforests all around the world, ecosystems, oceans etc.

Yes, the food wouldn't be as cheap, but at least there would be a huge incentive for people to find cheaper ways (maybe finally someone will make an effort to improve hydro/aeroponics).

Of course, capitalism is greedy, not globally optimal, so it is necessary that certain restrictions are made by law. Complex issue I guess, EU is on a good path IMO.
> Schmetterling may be semantically linked to butterfly via 'batter-fly' (beater-fly)

No, it's semantically linked via 'butter'. Schmetterling comes from Schmetten or Schmand which is a sort of heavy cream. There used to be a folk believe that butterflies would consume milk or butter if left uncovered. They were also sometimes called Milkdieb or milk-thief in German.

See: www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=butterfly
Totally agree with you, especially about the Nazis.

I've tried to explain my method for making ethical choices - remove rationality, remove 'what's good for others - country, nation, etc', remove 'circumstance and context' and think of it at the lowest, absolute level. Take that as primary truth.
In other words, listen to heart more than to the mind.

I've decided that I would choose my own death (physical, professional, etc) rather than do something which my heart tells is very wrong (eg. kill others, cause suffering or pain, participate in wars, etc).

I hope life will not put me to this test, but if it does, well, at least I have a plan.. Death (physical or not) is always a choice and sometimes it is the only solution to a moral problem, and it is always available.

Apart from the stoics, Leo Tolstoy's philosophical works have strongly influenced me and I wholeheartedly recommend reading his later books. Those ideas are powerful tools to have in your mental arsenal.
A comical thing about many "cutting-edge" SaaS startups: no one wants to do the website; no one owns it. I have seen it many times: marketing people imploring the programmers to push a little change to the website, only to find that no one is available for the task.

Logically, it makes sense as websites usually get updated only once in a while and it would foolish to dedicate a resource to it. But, it also adds a great difficulty in building a tiny thing, even if something like a contact page.

I guess big companies have more organised processes and teams to handle this. But, in startups, everyone is already working on the core product and everything else seems like a distraction.
A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transport
— paraphrased from Enrique Penalosa, former Mayor of Bogotá, Colombia

http://newyork.thecityatlas.org/lifestyle/developed-area-ric...

I think privacy is something that is a function of cost benefit. When road pricing becomes ubiquitous (as it will given the march towards EV), people will begin shift to public transport.
I've seen quite a few articles and studies that say that government projects aren't actually more expensive than private projects.

The impression is created because (a) the media will report on a government-run project over budget because they actually get that data (unlike private cost overruns), and the public cares more about these projects. And, (b), government projects are more likely to start with an initial estimate that is too low, because that's beneficial to getting a project approved.

Speaking to your argument about accountability: Do you think the CEO of GE is really more afraid of the shareholders than the mayor of some city in Kansas? Politicians are plenty accountable. And for something like the federal government, projects are managed by employees, who are managed by agency heads. The latter get a budget and have to work within it.

Say you're the head of the National Park Service: If your new visitor centre at Yellowstone gets swallowed in a geyser, will you not face exactly the same consequences as someone at Disneyland tasked with building a new ride?
But then you need x years to teach them all those mini macro languages like loop etc.

Ecological observations tend to be general trends rather than absolute laws, as evolution is a messy and gradual process.

Pretty much all large scale physics projects have payoff profiles like that and that is probably known to funding agencies, so I severely doubt that funding agencies have truly used this as their measure. That way to measure impact is simply wrong and would have prevented many significant discoveries in high energy physics and astronomy.

ITER, Wendelstein-X, LIGO, Planck, I could go on. In all those cases any results happened >10 years after the funding started or might still only happen in the future. In the case of the LHC, but also many other Detector experiments individual grants to research groups were typically (not just anecdotally) way beyond 700000€.
I'm glad you are sharing this. I've made the same experience - in our code, we ditched Pandas entirely for structured arrays. We also used numpy record arrays at first but found them to somehow be significantly slower than structured arrays, and since the former just add syntactic sugar to the latter, we're now running entirely on structured numpy arrays.
Website owners should rely on metrics like order or calls count rather than try to win against botnets (though I know the case when an ad network was hiring people to make calls to a client (a realty company) to make better statistics for their ad campaign).

Of course bots can simulate visiting different websites and even logging into them if that is profitable.
I love the last slide:

This is just arguing semantics at this point, but even if we didn't agree that it's sexism or gender discrimination that male victims of domestic violence don't get help or that only men can be compelled to die or get mutilated in war, we would presumably be close to agreeing that these are good examples of power imbalances.
Silly question, but why not use a e-ink tablet like the nook? With a bluetooth keyboard and termux/jupyter working on android it should still work fine as a terminal device. Though I have no experience with them and I might be wrong
The trouble with small spaces is that they cost unproportionally much to rent. I could probably fit my home life in a 80 sqft apartment but when they rent for much more than 1/10th of a 800 sqft apartment, it's very hard to justify the compromise.

> I honestly would prefer an even more party insiders driven process for the primaries. Too much democracy seems to lead to insane levels of populism leading to characters like Trump.

Non sequitur. The DNC's heavily party-insider-driven primary process gave us Clinton as Trump's opponent, rather than Sanders, a similarly populist (and popular!) candidate who most likely
would have won.
For this to work you need:
1. satellite client decoy system that drops packages (not deny)
2. satellite client listening system
3. an other network connection that allowed source spoofing.

If you are contacted on the decoy system you just send the syn+ack packet with the other network with a spoofed address. You will be able to receive all the responses on the satellite connection and send all the responses on the source spoofing network connection.
The Chameleon is powerful enough to emulate an Amiga, using the Minimig cores.
Interesting to see actually numbers. They imply that the one odd number here is the low rate of male attempting to interrupt another male, and that the natural base line should be around 0.1435 (assuming that the female variance of 0.0025 is the natural one for all humans).

That changes the tone of the issue. A 0.0195 difference from the norm is tiny on the negative discrimination of men interrupting women if we compare it to the norm difference of 0.0655 as positive discrimination for men interrupting men. As a social issue of 13.6% negative discrimination vs 45.7% positive discrimination, its a good time to ask what we want to fix. Is it the negative 13.6%, which mean we want men to interrupt women at the same rate as women interrupt women, or do we want men to treat other men worse by interrupting men as much as women do?

It also raises questions about moderators. Should we favor male moderators over female ones because they will in average interrupt 20% less (.241 vs .287) for a panel of 50% women and 50% men? The original post had a panel of 80% men and 50% men, which given the above numbers would have a male moderator interrupt a panelist at the rate of 0.095 while a female moderator would have interrupted a panelist with the rate of 0.145. A female moderator would be 52% worse than a male moderator in this specific case.

The problem with that is that it isn't fair to those who did vote, because the ones voting now have more information to go on.

In that case, Sia provides an avenue for an new company with access to cheap electricity to compete with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft without investing a cent in marketing or product. They will just plug in and start receiving payments, and strengthen the network and lower the price in the process.

Another cool thing is Sia lets hosters set their storage and bandwidth prices, so specialized hosts will likely pop up. For example one host might use tape drives, set cheap storage cost and expensive bandwidth cost. Clients can prioritize as desired. SSD servers with good peering can do the opposite.

The real interesting part will be when you can create one-time-use URLs to pass out, which connect directly to the network - effectively turning it into a distributed CDN.
The direction of the nation is decided by less than a majority in every vote. So why would this one in particular require "special measures"?

"Really talk through the culture during the offer. If you want your employees to work long hours, you better tell them that is expected before they accept the offer. Conversely, if you believe strongly in a 40-hour workweek, tell the candidate because many people are looking to change the world and they want to work with people who really make the company mission a priority."

From the Wikipedia article on this company, they were pretty sleazy. Certainly not a "change the world" sort of organization.

I released my ebook about Bootstrap 3 for complete beginners on 2013/09

Being an ebook, it peaked in the first 5 days and by December it was bombing as expected.

I did a "holiday sale" with discounted prices as planned, and announced it for 12/24 till 12/31. Sales immediately went up and right like there was no tomorrow.

Then I purposely forgot to restore the original prices until 01/20 and people just kept buying it, thinking they were oh-so-smart for taking advantage of me.

On 01/21 I restored the original prices and went back to close to no-sales at all.

Given the cost to produce another copy of what I was selling is zero, I'd say that was a very big win.

No need to invent anything new. Correct way to get proportional representation has been already figured out.
