I think it's very possible to raise dairy cows without stress. Of course you have to milk some dairy cows or their bladder will get sore (and maybe burst).

It's possible to do a lot better than we do when slaughtering; but even with the best methods there's going to be up to a second of bewilderment if not pain and terror.
I've seen some great IT related ads using the Brave advertising network ads, on Brave. Really didn't mind them. (Disclaimer: I've only just started using Brave).

My favorite example of this is the word "squirrel," which is originally from ancient Greek, σκίουρος (lexical translation: skiouros, which means shadow-tailed). Somehow the notion that Socrates would use approximately the same (rather unlikely) word for this animal that I do is fascinating.

More acendata: In 2009, I forewent MIT because it would have cost me ~$40K a year whereas every other Ivy I got into asked for $15K to $20K a year.
Foldcoin is very similar to what you're describing. The problem is that it's not actually clear we can do what you're describing in a cryptographically secure way - foldcoin for example essentially relies on the security of the Folding@Home network, something I find extremely sketch​y. Regardless, it's not actually clear that Folding@Home itself is a net positive for society anyway (see https://www.gwern.net/Charity%20is%20not%20about%20helping)
Private banking, in said jurisdiction, is a line of work with centuries of tradition.

And they just don't have any fucking reason to fuck over their clients.

Protection? If you are a billionaire and your banker fucks you over, I think they're more scared of you than you are of them.

I did not tell you to private bank with bank of america new york city. If you do that, kiss your money goodbye. They'll take all of it, funnel it into the next garbage scheme and yell "stakeholders".
Except since there's no chance for a 3rd party, these two parties hold too much power and it suddenly matters much more. If it was like other countries with tons of parties that rise and fall, you'd be correct.

Also what do you mean by insane levels of populism? Isn't that just a derogatory way to say "what the people want"?

"this answer implies that primes are the same regardless of base"

Right. If you have some quantity of apples, then can you lay them out in a regular rectangular-shaped grid (more than 1 apple wide)? If not, the quantity is prime. You can count the apples in any base you like.
Why do companies treat their office address like a company secret?
What are they afraid of? Don't they realize that for every angry customer that might show up at their office to cause trouble, there are 1000 prospective employees that just want to get an idea of how long their new commute will take? Sometimes, it's hard to even figure out what city they're in.
>"birds" are essentially defined as the set of theropod species that survived the K-T extinction.

This is not a definition of birds that is scientific or even colloquial. Nobody defines birds this way.
I purchased a couple of the machines from these guys for my team and had a great experience. Highly recommended if you have better ways to spend your time than building them yourself.
I also strongly agree with him, and you. The work of annotating, curating, prepping, etc, is huge. Every industry could split off 10% of its workforce just to work on prepping their data for ingestion, and then designing the interfaces to actually use the inferences the algorithms emit.
> Given those goals that they had, why would anyone expect them to behave 'ethically' or care about the side effects of their activity ?

Because the bomb was meant to be used (in "production") on foreigner civilians. And that was (and still largely is [0]) acceptable to Americans for a variety of reasons: "the Japanese were barbaric war criminals", "they did Pearl Harbor", "mass murder by atom bomb was compassionate given that the only other alternative was mass murder by conventional bombing/invasion", etc.

In contrast, the testing affected the health of law-abiding Americans. That's very un-American.

Doctors and lawyers do have conflicts of interest, too, and it's really hard to keep them in check.

Financial advisers have an even more direct conflict of interest -- your loss is literally their gain.

Doctors' conflicts are probably the least direct and easiest to fix of the three. Financial advisers are hopeless, as far as I'm concerned.
No taxes if you give it away to a registered non-profit as Bitcoin.
Yeah but I wouldn't replace with it with soy/almond. I'd use -- well almost anything else. Water. Mashed vegetables and fruit. Some milk products such as yoghurt/whey/buttermilk/quark.
It sounds like there are more problems than just the technical ones going on.

Make/find the list and send an email to your boss explaining that you've done it but anticipate these problems in future, If/when someone complains bring out that email.

If the place is as toxic as it sounds then this buys you time to build up savings and/or job hunt.

Wow. This is amazing, perfect keybindings.

Lots of keys combined with Meta(alt)+Control key, the optimum keybinding for window manager, those two keys are always unused in user programs. Its really perfect for emacs, no-one has imagined to use those two keys with some random key, on any of emacs packages or modes.

Poor me have binded my windowmanager commands with Super(windows) + (what ever command key I use for it.

I'm sure a lot of them do, but it's also true that there are a lot of Mac laptops out there which will be upgraded to High Sierra that don't have hardware HEVC acceleration.
I've thought about this a lot relating to charitable giving, especially because my employer frequently offers 2x match on these kinds of donations. How does one compute 'bang for the buck' for a given donation size? How does one balance small, local socially-good institutions vs large, global socially-good institutions?
Thank you that is a good start! :)

Also, you are misinformed, both parties 100% do this [1](or attempt to) - It just happens that Republicans are way better at it.

Sometimes when this happens, I try to think of the worst -

What would happen if I lost my job?

What would happen if I were to die tonight?

Sometimes it helps to realize that nothing much really, I mean really, matters - ideology, opinion, software, even my own life.

Sometimes, 'Pearls before Swine' helps to put things in perspective! [1]

I think, my recommendation, would create more informed voter base. Mostly because lobbyist would have to reach out to the voters, rather than to the politicians.
Additionally, perhaps, letting a voter to 'forego' his/her right for the allocation could be allowed. This way you can choose to forego the right, while others would keep it.
Yeah, you are right on with that observation. You prompted me to find out from where the VOC imported their tea. Apparently the initial source was Macao which spoke Cantonese. In modern day Canton and Putonghua words for tea are near indisguishable, so perhaps the Cantonese word for tea circa 1600 was quite like the current Putonhua word for tea. Had VOC sourced their tea from Sri Lanka, our word for tea might be dramatically different. In Tamil, tea is called தேநீர் (tēnīr)

Unless you are in one of a handful of professions, your work is nothing that warrants this amount of stress. No one is going to die.

Isn't that kind of stress supposed to impair performance? I'd think that keeping not-stressed would be even more important if people's lives were in question.
A blog post is one thing, but many web developers that venture onto this site -- myself included -- are building complex web applications that would simply not make any sense as a "read only" website.

You are more than welcome to disable JS, but the number of web developers that I've met that actually care about a non-JS user experience is next to zero.
I don't know...

There's plenty of horrible code out there, particularly tensorflow code, which matches all the classical metrics for 'spaghetti code'.

The complexity of the implementation might be hidden away by the framework, but there's no excuse for writing massive hundred+ line functions that do multiple things with copy-pasted code blocks.

That's just bad code, in ML or not.
Eliminating first past the post would go a long way.
There is this perception(not invalid) that more research money should go to the best schools because that would result in more impactful research. I, myself don't quite disagree with that.

But one of the claims for this argument that a huge donation suddenly doesn't turn a bad school into a good one is a strawman argument. Things don't have to be so extreme. There are plenty of middle tier schools specially state schools where amazing research is happening, and there are brilliant researchers who can also make use of that money having huge impact on the world. These schools already have very advanced infrastructure to utilize additional research money.

But as a graduate student in a state school, I might be biased.
READ is for reading data, not programs.

Using READER macros then is best used to write syntax extensions for data or alternative syntax for data.

Apple should stop fooling around, and start using DASH+MSE instead. But being Apple, they have very hard time letting go of their NIH and lock-in.
It is supposed to be used by a law firm and I have a boss that doesn't understand this stuff. We already had a few people quit over it and I was not told about it until I had signed the NDA and been there for a few weeks.

Boss refuses to answer by email, everything is him calling me in his office and yelling at me for not finding the list of things he wants in the program.

I'm deep in student debt and trying to find a way to earn money besides as a software consultant, etc.

Before this I worked fast food and other minimum wage jobs. I'm scared that I'll fail.
Outrage rarely matters.

Actually -- and I really hesitate to mention this, but it seems sufficiently intellectually interesting -- has anyone noticed that after the last election cycle, outrage has ceased to matter altogether? United Airlines stock price is up 12% despite their behavior, for example.

I'm not sure outrage has ever mattered much, but internet outrage in particular has gone from "effective when focused" to "this is a normal day." The rise of justice-porn subreddits has fueled this obsession. Everyone has a grudge. In fact, they have multiple grudges categorized by computers and aimed at faceless, nameless ideas.

I'm reminded of 1984. It's so cliche, but remember the "daily hate"? When did we all start falling for this 24/7 outrage cycle?

It's made all the more dangerous by the fact that in nearly all of these cases, the outrage is deserved. In fact, that's what makes it work at all. Everyone's feelings are valid, and the grudges are justified. But what kind of world is it when your grudges are handed to you? Aren't grudges supposed to be personal? I'd rather not have them at all, but a personal grudge is at least better than being told what to think.
Is there some reason we can't make the penalty of cost overruns that the contractor eats it, with the provision that the government is not allowed to change the specs once committed, after a preliminary speccing phase where they work with a few bidders to see their proposals? I imagine that we'd start seeing much more realistic bids in a hurry, with potential overruns built into the bid.
People can make web apps that communicate with each other without paying for servers - hobbyists, students, developers in third world countries etc. Collaboration tools focused on local or niche things, text / video chat, multiplayer games, etc.

WebRTC can communicate on the near network without roundtrip to ISP uplink, so it can get high bandwidth in managed environments (industrial etc).

The Air Force hates the A-10 because it's ugly and low-tech, and the AF is all about sexiness. The A-10 is the most Soviet-looking piece of hardware in America's arsenal. But it works very, very well.
I'd second this, even if insurance doesn't cover it and you can find a way to pay for it.

I'd also recommend trying something like an intensive therapeutic seminar: https://www.themeadows.com/workshops/survivors-i-workshop

If you don't like therapy, maybe something like Landmark: http://www.landmarkworldwide.com

Some people put down therapy and taking care of themselves in general, my guess is because it takes alot of courage to actually address dysfunction with themselves. I've been that person at times too, in general though I've tried alot of these things and I don't regret having gone through them and I felt better coming through the other side of my own shit.
I have heard some military and law enforcement friends mention something along the lines of "hang your fangs at the door." In those fields, it's very clear who your "enemies" are versus "friendlies." I suppose there is some serious compartmentalization going on in order for this philosophy to work.
When you add up all of the ridiculous hoops web developers have to jump through for cross-browser compatibility, a non-JS UX is the least of their concerns.

You're asking web developers to come up with two methods to accomplish the same goal, which doubles the number of ways the app can break. It's totally unrealistic for any moderately complex web application.

They could, but as discussed in this thread, they won't. This means chromium, for example, will not be able to webrtc video with Apple devices.
There would be more of a chance for a 3rd party if people bothered to care about the house rather than just the presidency...

But yeah, today there's little chance. But so what? Plenty of progress, far more than today was made in the past before the primary system. Several great presidents (including Lincoln, FDR, TDR) came from the old process. Meanwhile the new process gave us Trump...Not to mention, tons of members of Congress afraid to do anything sensible because they are too afraid of primary challenges by hyper partisan people on their side.

UK doesn't have a primary system (mostly -- they did for Labour who are now saddled with Corbyn) and they don't have a stupidly gridlocked govt. Neither does Canada. Both of those countries have politics dominated by mostly 2-3 parties. In fact almost no country on Earth has it to the level that the US does.

Re:"what people want" -- for one thing what people want is often contradictory. For another, there's a reason why the US doesn't have mob rule by majority. What people want is not always coherent or wise. IMO our goal as a society should be a functioning govt and a liberal polity for which democracy is a means. But by no means is democracy a good in an of itself for me at least.
Playing music does it for me. It's not just concentrating on the music itself, but also, hanging out with a group of people who are practically a different culture than the tech scene.

For instance, I have had band mates who were voluntarily homeless, or who really just don't get the whole idea of showing up somewhere for regular paid employment. Some are certifiably crazy. The problems that are so urgent to me, they react with curious amusement, or just don't even give a rat's arse.

Noting another post in the thread, the regulars at the bar are probably another such culture.
Actually he could. Vanguard would easily absorb it. Vanguard has about 4 trillion dollars of assets under management. $40B corresponds to about 1% of it, about a single day's stock market wiggle.
> The thing is, lispers don't want more syntax.

Lisp already has a lot syntax, but on top of s-expressions. Lispers usually want to keep that two-stage syntax: s-expressions for data and Lisp on top of s-expressions. This enables the simple s-expression data representation and manipulation to be applied to programs, too.

Lispers did not really reject the non-s-expression Dylan syntax - it was never developed for them. Apple developed that syntax and Dylan to target non-Lisp developers.
He's definitely a powerhouse, but I think Patterson is a stronger contender for that title.
I haven't tried Brave but that sounds like a good development. I still don't really like being advertised to but if it's relevant or at least easy to ignore then I don't mind either. I guess that puts me at about a 4 on their scale.

I think single transferable vote is a much better way of addressing that criticism. We have it where I live and it has tended to produce fairly boring yet representative elections.
Why do you say it's for data? Doesn't racket use "reader macros" heavily for language syntax, or am I misunderstanding something?
The fact that gerrymandering is even possible is a symptom (albeit an severely exacerbating one) - not the cause - of the problems in the US electoral structure.

It could be countered quite effectively by a system using larger jurisdictions each with multiple representitives.
There is a farm near where I lived some times ago, in France south west, where the cows are choosing when they want to be milked (assuming it's the good word for it).

The farmers owned 2 or 3 machines where the cow goes when it wants to give milk, and get out whenever it feels about it.

There's a video on their website where you can see it
http://www.lafermeduramier.fr

The cows can go outside whenever they want and sleep on some kind of mattress.

I think they're having quite a cool life
I want to make it clear that this isn't my software. This reminds me of TempleOS in terms of the amount of effort and skill involved to produce something so... interesting.
The problem with DASH these days is that you might have to buy a patent license to use it. The MPEG LA wants to sell you one anyhow:

HLS has no such problems which makes it the better choice.
For anyone interested in etymology and the endless source of fascinating stories that is language, I recommend The History of English Podcast: http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/

It starts all the way back in Proto-Indo-European and gives a really fulfilling amount of linguistic detail. Some of the most enjoyable parts, IMO, are when you realize that two seemingly-unrelated words are actually cognate.

As does Fidelity, but at the end of the day, neither is structured in a way that ensures that continues. Vanguard is mutually owned.
I can understand the perspective, too, though. Stuff has to work. You're not emailing a new build to them mid-cruise. This means there should be a large paper trail and signoff on any project, which makes any team hesitant to anything but incremental changes.

I'm not sure what the ultimate solution would be that keeps the reliability aspect but allows for more risky/rapid development.
For number 2, there could be any number of solutions to fix those degrees of freedom. Intuitively, a maximum margin separator for determining the division wouldn't seem to be a terrible idea.
