What's worth more? A $200K lump sum in 20 years or $10K every year for the next 10?

The answer depends on how much interest you can earn on the $10K/year. At around ~7% the $10K/year is worth more than the $200K in 20 years.

Your stock grants from Amazon are equivalent to the $10K/year, the options, if you get them, are equivalent to the $200K. The actual weighting is impossible to get precisely but the way you approach it can give you better accuracy than just comparing apples to oranges.

Good news, even if it's horrible, ~2 years is the typical employee tenure so you probably wont be there long. If you are and it's going to be successful you'll be able to renegotiate based on foregone comp at Amazon.

I pipe a list of installed programs into dmenu and have it run whichever one I select. I have this bound to Mod+p. dmenu has fuzzy search, so if I want to open firefox I can just type `Mod+p fox <cr>`. Not quite as fast as having dedicated hotkeys, but it also covers all installed programs on the system (or some small subset if I want).

Having programs available from anywhere with just a few keystrokes makes everything feel very accessible. Whenever I want to run something I just need to type a few characters of the binaries name to launch it.

I use a similiar set up for ssh, where I pipe the Hosts from my ~/.ssh/config into dmenu and only need to type part of the hostname to connect.

All birds had a common ancestor species. Anything that's a descendant of that ancestor species is a bird.

The actual ancestor hasn't been found, but it can be determined by genome studies, and by comparing known details (usually from the skeleton, because that is the only thing available from most fossils).

Essentially they collect a lot of traits of many species. If you assume that more closely related species have more traits in common a computer program can then figure out the most likely evolutionary tree.

In that tree, anything in the bird branch below the "bird ancestor" node is a bird.

I think allowing to specify what percent of your tax goes into what 'pre-canned' list of causes, would allow a way for folks to influence the politicians outside of the 'election process', and, without, full blown on-line-referendum surveys for all the issues.

Clearly, the above would bias some of the decision making power away from low-income populous, however this can be addressed by some form of weighting and thresholds.

I can only think of a few ways in which my definition fails. First, that it doesn't identify that NP only requires polytime verifiability for satisfying answers, not for "no" answers; second, that the use of the informal "you" instead of "a deterministic Turing machine" makes assumptions about the bounds of human reasoning that I assume are correct but don't know for certain; and third, that the ease of verifying certain solutions may mislead a lay-observer into thinking that a problem is in NP when, in fact, it is harder. ("This program exits because it consists only of the single statement exit(0);").

I think the third problem with my definition is the most thorny. But if you take the technically accurate form form of it that doesn't risk confusing easy instances with worst-case behavior - that you can verify in polytime a solution to any instance of the problem - it's technically correct.

But which things did you have in mind, and how would you improve the explanation?

We have one at work. Everyone looks at it when they come into the room, and pokes at it. I've never actually seen anyone use it though.

I personally spent maybe 2 minutes trying to get it to work, and gave up out of frustration and resorted back to the glass board.
From my experience, when you're at the edge, the only thing to do is release the anger. Chopping wood, sledge hammer to rocks, in general doing he-man break shit. Preferably in private.

Once that's worked out, I make sure to give the anger back to the person who's sourcing it. If I need to check myself by asking the person questions, I try to do it. But other than that, I really try my best to reflect that negative energy back at its source. And while I prefer being overt, I will be covert when the situation indicates that is necessary.

Or as another guy expressed to me, you need something like the pressure relief valve on a pressure cooker to blow off the steam a little at a time, so you don't explode.

> He replied, somewhat evasively, that no, there wasn't really an sum large enough.

Which, of course, is his job. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that he has an entirely separate point of view in private when being candid.

That said, my immediate reaction to reading the first sentence of the GP comment was to think of that same Revisionist History episode. I'm excited that the new season is beginning soon. I will temper that with a caveat that I think Malcom does push his agenda and narrative fairly hard in those podcasts, but that does make for a really compelling story. If you can separate the facts from the portions it feels like he's omitting, you'll likely get more out of the podcasts, but I find the exposure to new ideas particularly fun and useful. I especially liked the Moral Licensing episode, which I only listened to for the first time a few months ago. It's particularly fun to listen to that one and realize that his specifics were all wrong, but the generalities and basics still match perfectly with the new Political reality that was only 6-12 months int the future from that recording (regardless of whether you believe in the premise).

I'm being particularly vague on purpose here, because I truly believe that episode was at least twice as as entertaining and memorable because of that situation, and I don't want to ruin it for anyone. That episode was so good, it's probably worth a re-listen now if you listened to them as they were released.

"The Paris Accord is a treaty under international law, whether it was a treaty, requiring ratification, under the more narrow terms of US Constitutional law has been a matter of some debate"

There is no "debate". The US Constitution requires that treaties be ratified by the Senate before they take effect. The Senate did not ratify the Paris Accord. Therefore the United States is not and was not a party to that treaty.

Anyone who claims otherwise is dissembling, not "debating".

Note that this is a completely separate issue from whether it would have been a good idea to ratify the Paris Accord.

The big issue is that the EMALS system is easier on the airframes. In a conventional steam catapult, the steam head hits the piston face at max pressure and expands as it accelerates the aircraft, but max acceleration occurs at the beginning. This means there's much more load on the aluminium components of the airframes. As aluminium has no elastic limit, all deformation is bad. The Navy goes through a lot of airframes compared to the air force.

The EMALS system is intended to spread the load out continuously during take-off so the max load is much lower, thereby dramatically increasing the lifespan of the airframes.

> People need to hold in their sexism trigger finger for when it actually happens, not when some vague maybe and could-be circumstance provides an excuse to let out a wave of built up disapproval.

Whose judgment are we supposed to trust about "when sexism actually happens?"

Further, why is it so clear to you that this person is not being genuine in retelling her experience of what happened? Why is she "on a soapbox" for talking about things she observed and felt in the moment, whether you agreed with them or not? What has she done to indicate to you that she should not be treated credibly?

If you came forward with a claim of sexism, would you expect us to treat you with the same level of skepticism you're showing here?

> The expression "mansplaining" is a trashy and sexist term, and when used falsely to condemn someone's likely innocent mistake is highly disrespectful. You want empathy and understanding of a viewpoint stemming from gender put-downs and unfounded accusations of sexism?

"Falsely condemn," again, is language that's unnecessarily harsh and misleading, and "unfounded" is simply not true. Sexism (and most forms of bias) is not always explicit or intentional; in fact, many biases are implicit.[1] When you treat a person differently because of their gender (or race, religion, etc.) - whether you are doing it on purpose or not - you are exhibiting bias.

The purpose of calling out that bias is not just or mainly to shame the person. It's to shine a light on behavior that not only is tolerated or not seen as a problem, but that isn't even consciously considered by people whom it doesn't affect. We can argue over the degree to which the moderator was aware that what he was doing was inappropriate, and we can argue over whether the person who called him out delivered her message in the best possible way, but what happened was not acceptable, and the accusation is not unfounded.

Sorry, but I've been burned too many times by side projects from Google that have then been killed off.

Memo to Google: The google brand is very strong in some areas, but your actions have rendered it toxic in some specific areas. Continuing to launch cool things and then killing them off when they don't gain traction is making this worse, not better.
Yeah... I’d file a bug anyway though, might help them prioritise it.

No fill in the blank? Make an "other" option with no free input. List the obvious categories and call it a day.

You can't list everything. People invent their own self-identities which contradict any pre-defined list. Some categories are not yet politically correct such as people who identify as trans-racial.

If you make a truly complete list then you will get fired. I guarantee it. Some things people identify as are really far out and not socially accepted anywhere.

I actually agree. I was using my Vive / Tilt Brush to whiteboard design some systems architecture[0], and it felt very natural to want to collaborate and share with both local and remote parties.

3D is such a more robust experience when designing that it just feels magnitudes of order better.

The problem is not that Google is unreliable. The problem is that the servers are not yours, and thus the services that depend on the servers are not really yours.

Therefore, if you write software to match, or foster methodologies that depend on a particular product, you risk writing software or patterning activities around a system that can trivially disappear.

You have no way of estimating the popularity of adoption (is this android?), or how essential this thing may be to internal Google teams (is this wave?), since it remains something of a trade secret, who is using what, and how much, therefore you can never know when or why Google might declare that its offering is antiquated or unprofitable to Google, or whether it will be deprecated, forcing a migration elsewhere.

> The inability to use Pythonisms with Pandas is insane and I had to do a data analysis where I really, genuinely needed to do some looping and some simple map/reduce and it almost drove me insane.

I recently started a project that I got to write from the ground up by myself. I was happy with the processing side of things. I was very sad with the data I was getting in and putting out. There's some impedance mismatch that doesn't need to exist.

> You might like [Agate](http://agate.readthedocs.io/) better.

I looked at the front page and definitely wasn't enjoying what I was seeing. It, at first, looked like more complexity piled up on top of things that don't need it. Then I saw this link: http://agate.readthedocs.io/en/1.6.0/cookbook/compute.html#l...

> I don't mind that matplotlib is kind of awful -- that data viz would never go in a published piece in any event. I just want some hints as to what I or more likely a teammate would build in D3 around the specifics of the data.

Sadly in my field matplotlib is the professional tool (hah!). The end goal is the matplotlib plots. I'd be all fine for tweaking things in a designing program and putting it up by I'd be upset with myself.

My end goal is to have a single script in a repository that installs, runs, and then compiles my papers. I don't want anyone to need to look at sub-standard copies of my plots. I want anyone to be able to jump in and check my work and create derivative works.

Sadly this is not common in science today so there aren't really good tools for this sort of thing at the composition side. Even worse plotting isn't common in the computer world so tools for that don't exist either.

I use a tiling window manager (spectrwm) and I am almost always using a single window in fullscreen. Apart from the browser most of my workspace exists inside the terminal where I'm very liberal with using multiple panes/windows/sessions in tmux. This fills a similiar role for me with regards to tiling, but for almost everything else I prefer having only a single application front-and-center at a time, with tiling available for rare occasions.

What I like about the tiling wm is that I can launch an application and have it immediately fill the entire screen (without annoying decorations). Then opening and closing windows, changing windows, moving workspaces, etc, is all just a hotkey away.

This same setup would be possible with openbox I think, but it all comes "out of the box" with most tiling window managers.

You're right, insofar as "bird" is not jargon, or in 1:1 correspondence with jargon, in any scientific discipline. There's just theropods, some of which happened to survive, where people call the descendant species of those particular theropod species birds. There's no rule specifying whether those theropod species themselves are birds, or whether species that are 99% like them but happened to die off due to pure bad luck are birds, etc.—because we don't need such a rule for anything.

If we did, though—if "bird" was jargon under some branch of science, the way that "fruit" is jargon in culinary science†—then I would guess that the criterion for it would be something like "a theropod with adaptations that would make it likely to survive the K-T extinction, all else being equal", making both the ancestor theropods to current birds qualify, as well as the bird in the article. But, well, nobody needs that definition for anything, so it can't really be argued what the definition "really is."

Either way though, prime number distribution is quite tricky - we should probably be looking in other number bases as well rather than just base 10.

This interested me so I went looking for how primes would work in other bases, this answer implies that primes are the same regardless of base:

A prime is a prime no matter which base you use to represent it. On
the surface one might think that in Hex you would have 35 = 15 as
"usual," but it really turns out that 35 = F.

The example 21 doesn't work too well because it is not prime.
The base ten number 37 is better, because it is prime, but its Hex
representation is 25, which sort of looks non-prime. Hex 25 is not,
however, repeat not, 5 squared.

Okay, enough for examples. The fact of being prime or composite is
just a property of the number itself, regardless of the way you write
it. 15 and F and Roman numeral XV all mean the number, which is 3
times 5, so it is composite. That is the way it is for all numbers, in
the sense that if a base ten number N has factors, you can represent
those factors in Hex and their product will be the number N in Hex.

Relating to your question about base 13, the base ten number 13 will
be represented as "10" in that system, but "10" will still be a prime,
because you cannot find two numbers other than 1 and "10" that will
multiply together to make "10".

I hope this helps you think about primes in other bases.
