Considering the explicit distinction drawn between getting paid on a week basis, where "months aren't all the same", and getting paid on a month basis, where they are, of course that's what I'm talking about. If you get paid twice a month, your income is the same every month.

I actually don't see the connection between a "minimum standard of living" and a "minimum required experience." Is this the case with company under discussion, Whole Foods? If that requirement is a high school diploma, well that's why we strive for universal high school, but I'm not sure what the connection is here. Please, don't use intuition from high paying intelligentsia type careers to the majority of laborers in the US, much less the world.

I do grant I'm not sure the government with the law that exists can do anything about Whole Foods, or should it, and thus, I am making a bigger point about that the government is supposed to function for the public good. I think the glimmer in Whole Foods is more an indictment of the system in the US than anything.

You're absolutely right to note the internal contradictions of parent's comment. They're both very certain and very uncertain at the same time.

However, is it not possible to observe that a clearly poor methodology can produce unreliable results in any field? And is it not possible that this may be such an instance?
I have not really found this to be the case. I work daily on a codebase of a few hundred thousand lines of Python code with a hundred dependencies and type errors are usually solved quickly.

For small, local needs to pass around data, a plain dict or tuple usually suffices. If you need stricter contracts, you define good classes and interfaces.

There's a need for discipline in your coding style, but I've frankly not found this to be an issue with moderately competent coders who understand this. Yes, you can shoot yourself in the foot with this, but if anything those bugs are usually obvious and solved in the first pass of testing.

I was surprised to read that the reason isn't that green olives are typically used to make martinis. It seems to me that having a jar of olives on a bar would make for a better appearance than a can. Also, green olives are typically stuffed with pimentos or garlic or blue cheese, and so being able to see them might help sell them, whereas black olives are used for things other canned vegetables are used for, ie salads, casseroles, etc.

Market-based solution? Incumbent interests object to this. Typical objections include 1) it will increase price volatility (which will hurt a) existing power generators or b) consumers), 2) it will reduce reliability. So, instead of market-based solutions, we get "energy policy" that subsidizes all incumbents and reduces innovation.
Interesting design. As far as I understood from old papers client certificates are used only to identify the device while user authentication is handled differently.

Could you elaborate on the technical details on user authentication? (If that's not top-super-secret) I guess it's just like accounts.google.com for Enterprise with mandatory 2FA (username+password+U2F key?). Does it work the same on mobile/Android (U2F via NFC or codes)?

> isn't labeling this epoch "Anthropocene" somewhat premature and mostly political in nature?

The Anthropocene epoch has little to do with the climate change issues that you're focusing on. Of course temperature variation and the like will be captured in the geological record. However, what's far more relevant is the abundance of man-made materials like plastics and radioactive isotopes.

Is it premature? Of course, we're naming a geological epoch that's barely even begun. One could argue that we're anticipating history.
Is it political? Only inasmuch as any conversation about the future of the planet is political.
Is it inaccurate? The evidence that humans have profoundly affected the future of this planet is overwhelming. And I think it would be quite radical to suggest that we won't continue to affect the planet in the future.

1. When I did mention "income inequality"?

2. Your assertion "anyone who makes more than average is greedy" is your own opinion and claim.

3. "saying that humans are essentially always guilty of coveting" is also your own claim, and one that I did not make.

In summary, it seems you're projecting some things you believe onto me.

Your last portion is well taken, though. Unfortunately for such a grand claim like the one I made, there (practically) can't be a study that irrefutably proves it. However, most of the modern social issues are inherently ones of superiority, including:

- Racism

- Sexism

- Agism

Arguably any act that harms anyone else is an act of "superiority." For you must believe your ideology or yourself to be superior in order to invoke it. When there are options there will be comparison, and when there's comparison there must be superiority as there's judgment. To judge is only human.

"Should the internet be archived?"

This would be a great question to ask researchers in archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, history, etc.

My own impression is that the more data there is, the better for researchers. They can always weed out what they don't need later, but there's no way to get back information that has been destroyed or lost.

Also, in the past people have made some horrible choices regarding what's valuable and what's not. For all sorts of reasons, from political to psychological to social, they've done things like burn, discard, or destroy texts and artwork we now consider valuable but they did not. Often, what was considered valuable (like sacred texts) was not really as revealing about their daily lives as things they did not value and discarded.

So I'd really think twice before we discard any records. If there's some kind of serious pressing need to be selective (such as lack of space) that's one thing. But if keeping it more would not be a huge burden, I'm much more of an inclusionist than a deletionist.

The paper, “Hybrid Reward Architecture for Reinforcement Learning”[0], describes an evolution on DeepMind's Deep Q-Network (DQN) design[1] that was able to play many Atari games, presented in early 2015.

The HRA design requires more preprocessing (DQN worked on the raw pixels and on score alone), but the charts mapping how much faster HRA learns and how much stronger it plays is convincing.

I recently found an interesting issue [1] filed in public on the GitHub repository of a fork of a popular extension.

Here are archived versions of the URLs mentioned in the issue:

Without "partner extension": http://archive.is/anu2E

With "partner extension": http://archive.is/bp93l

As is evident, what their "partner extension" does is in fact maliciously hijacking and replacing ad-space on websites visited by the user.

Strangely, searching for their name among the issues on GitHub does not show other such results. I guess they usually make contact directly and that the person at that company who filed this issue did not realize it would be visible to the public.

Here is the full text of the issue:

Well that's confusing :) Given your example is out of context and counter-example is perfectly in context.
I think the values of the groups you're a member of influence your values, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. A well-adjusted adult probably has to have many values that they don't compromise on, but also many where there is some flexibility, and where continuing good standing within the group is more valuable that clinging to a value that conflicts with the group.
Not sure why you feel that the fact that CO2 naturally fluctuates shows that we were due for CO2 increases. Your link suggests that in recent history it fluctuates between 200 and 300 ppm, we now see it at 400 ppm and know of many significant and new CO2 emitting sources.

You also mention that humans have survived many drastic events, not sure what purpose bringing that up is, the problem is that we are facing a potentially huge humanitarian and economic crisis which we can potentially avoid. The knowledge that previous events didn't destroy the species does little to alleviate that fear.
Maybe, not sure how that is relevant. You definitely CAN do it, it's just not as common. Same could be said of F#.

But if you don't provision the device yourself how can you be sure it hasn't been tampered with in a way that just displays "bootloader OK, everything good" but in the mean time it was rooted? Or is that a risk calculated in the "no full amount of trust"?

Honestly, no. But not because of any measures of beauty, but because I just don't do callbacks all that often.

finally:
try: f.close()

There has been discussion about the limitations of the system...including a lot about how a Lidar system would have mitigated this. I think this underscores the fact that driver's must view the Tesla system as a collection of safety features rather than a fully autonomous system.

And I think you are correct that there is driver maturity required in order to exercise restraint/use the system responsibly given this and its potential abuse.

But a 40% decrease in crashes involving Teslas after the wide deployment of the Autopilot safety features would seem to indicate (to me) still that the overall safety of both Tesla drivers and the public around them is improved by its existence and availability.

> If it doesn't radically improve it's going to have many more problems as it gets in the hands of a wider range of drivers beyond affluent people in middle age+.

This is a very interesting and astute observation. While I question whether or not the current driver sample/population is materially more or less responsible than those that would have access to the upcoming more affordable Model 3, it is something worth monitoring (by the NTSB).

At the end of the day this is an evolving area. While this incident highlights the limits of Tesla's system, it is only one and there is evidence to suggest that overall safety is improved despite its limitations.
They expose an FFTW-compatible API, but as far as I know it's an independent implementation.
Well, that's one way to see it. You can also say X bought plan A from Z.

Stealing implies X did not get anything in return, that's not true.
In my view, controlling for a variable X doesn't directly strenghten a causal claim, but allows to "rule out" another plausible explanation. In a way it shows that the observed effect is not accounted for, even if we take X into account, which means that it could be that the father's age influences filial geekiness. It could still be the case that another variable (that was not controlled for) accounts for the effect.
Interesting. This reminds me a lot of Nicaraguan Sign Language, which had a very similar development from what I remember.
