The system I propose does not exist yet and needs to be designed properly, just as we design a software system. It should of course be flexible enough to allow for people moving to another place.

As the situation with property and ownership is now, it is random chaos. Even a rudimentary design has never been made. A financially successful billionaire (who says not by criminal act) can buy and own thousands of houses forever, and the income from that will grow tremendously, which allows him/her/progeny to buy even more property. This is just insane, how can this ever scale for the benefit of all people considering the greed we all have built in?
Well, aside from categorising such basic knowledge as "trivia", it's definitely not about taking one random, useless fact, and failing the interviewee on it. Rather, it's an example of a lowest common denominator question that everyone who has primary school education should laugh at, and move along. Hitting a hole at this level does imply some major issues with the person's general knowledge. It's fair to wonder what else will be missing in that person's repertoire, and how they will cope in random situations.

Similarly, if a programmer fails the question "in the alphabet, which letter comes after A", I'd be worried, and rightfully so. I'd give them a chance to recover from that, just to make sure it wasn't a once-off, but it's not excusable.

> Are you trying to argue that NYT and WP is more trustworthy than Fox?

Yes, absolutely.

> How is this related to my post?

You said you don't believe an unbiased algorithm will generate so many articles from WP or NYT. I disagree, depending on whether the article is based 100% on pageviews (it's not) or also factors in trustworthiness.

> Or, do you mean they have a super AI to determine which news report is close to reality on each single case?

My understanding is that they have a mix of AI and an editorial staff. From what I've read, the goal is not to find the closest to reality, but rather the most "canonical" story (closest to being first-hand, earliest, and most thorough).

For example, most of the top stories about the Boston Marathon bombing a few years ago were from the Boston Globe, even though every newspaper was covering it. There were certain scoops/angles that were from other sources.

This may not be how the algorithm works exactly, but my point is just that "lacking Fox News and WSJ" != "biased".

>It was a contest, the iphone won in some areas and (2) you missed the companion piece [1] comparing video where the iphone won fairly handily. (3) The pixel is one phone, you keep talking about "android phones", (4) you're back to claiming the iPhone is an also ran ("not even a contest"), make up your mind where you want to put your goalposts down.

It would seem you're confused about the iPhone winning in some area's. Let me recap the results:

1. Pixel
2. Draw
3. iPhone
4. Pixel
5. Pixel
6. Pixel

That seems very definitive to me which camera was superior. As for other Android phones, according to DXOMark there are 11 Android phones ranked higher than the iPhone 7.

>Every year the best iPhone launches with a camera that is among if not the best in the world.

Yes, it's among the best. It's just not the best anymore. They're now having to rely on gimmicks to differentiate themselves.

>Last year was no exception with many reviews saying essentially the same thing: best camera on a smartphone.

And then the Pixel launched and took the crown in many reviews that proclaimed it as the best smartphone camera in the world.

>Some android flagships have comparable cameras and these (a) usually launch a few months after the iphone, (b) sometimes beat the iphone camera in raw spec(s) but (c) despite spec advantage often aren't clearly better in still comparisons

Yeah, they really are better in still comparisons and especially under low light conditions.

https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/10/29/13466786/...

>Somehow you have spun that as "Android flagships have already had the better camera's for a couple of years" and that "it's not even a contest" both of which are simply nonsense.

DXOMark indicates otherwise and it shows the iPhone continuing to fall further and further in the rankings. The only nonsense here is you trying to convince yourself that the iPhone still has the better camera when countless reviews and blind tests have proven otherwise.

I guess it depends what style you favour. I can't imagine using getters/setters like that in JS today, and not have major pains from it (things like not being able to use data binding frameworks easily, etc).
If your boss and coworkers new about it, why didn't they provide you with space inside the building to take naps? It's stupid having to walk outside and nap in your car. Google has special quiet rooms where people can go take naps and relax during the day.
It's not even less density of information. It's less information period.

> CNCs... bulk density is low at 1.6 g/cc, but they exhibit incredible strength. An elastic modulus of nearly 150 GPa, and a tensile strength of nearly 10 GPa.

This is the same as carbon fiber (1.57-1.7g/cc), and slightly higher than kevlar (1.44g/cc).
Thanks for the correction, my bad. The technical term for the kind of thing I was thinking of is 'multiscale composites', and there already seems to be a lot written about carbon fiber/carbon nanotube mixed composites which would presumably be similar to carbon fiber/nano-cellulose composites. I obviously can't claim to be an expert, but there at least seems to be some precedent.
I'm with you in thinking that at least a trial of something similar would be worth it, given the amounts being spent. e.g., create a community/farm in a regional area with easy tasks for those who didn't want to idle, and various drug and mental-health support services. Give people a chance to trial it and then return if they didn't like it. Allow them to trial it in groups so they weren't leaving behind friends.

Completely optional but hopefully a better life for those who tried and liked it. If their peers were there and the weather wasn't problematic, surely something could be superior to a life on the streets.

If other states were shipping people in to take advantage of it, pool resources.

You could make the same argument from the worker's perspective. Companies don't need to hire graduates, they need to offer training for their employees! Why are we focused on what people should do when companies are the ones setting the bar?
It's more tragedy of the commons. (Though yeah, it's right up to the line.)

I guess that's another way of describing NIMBY. Focusing only on the short term pennies society misses the overall value in actually having proper capacity for growth and spike uses.

It's that same kind of decision that tries to use overtime from other shifts to cover the gap of a worker's vacation (instead of actually having enough coverage that vacation is built in). I suspect the same effect also contributes to shafting part time workers who "can't get hours" or who get massively screwed (because they're not friends with the boss doing the scheduling).

Better: eat less lunch. Ever since I've started having no more than a moderate bowl of low-cal (not "diet", just not "vitamix'd pizza") soup, the second half of the day is just as productive as the first. If I eat enough for a food coma, I go home; I'd provide no useful anything for the rest of the day, nap or no, so no sense hiding it by merely being around.

Mobile Deep Linking: Key for Growing User Engagement and Sales
I'd be interested in links to your blog.

I have been persuaded for a number of years now that the 35-year World War broke Western civilization thoroughly and deeply, with an interregnum to ensure a whole generation and its children got the hit, and only in the past, say, 20 years have scholars been able to get enough distance from it to look critically enough to remark with equanimity on the matter.

To me, it is sufficient to look at the evolution of fine art to demonstrate the point. But one can also look at complexity of language usage by educated individuals over time, social cohesion, pride in civilization, historical knowledge by educated individuals, etc.
One thing people miss out: at home, I have complete control over portion sizes.

I tend to end up overeating at restaurants because the portions are bigger.

At home, I can only serve as much as I want and keep the rest in the fridge.

In theory, I can - and do - do that at restaurants as well, but somehow, the restaurant environment promotes eating more. If I have four bites left, I might hesitate to ask for a takeaway box. But in the house, I can just throw that into a tupperware and pop it in the fridge
My coworker used to take a nap and fart really loud without noticing. I'm not trying to be funny I just worry I might do the same.
Good points -- I agree that your suggestions would be optimal for nap-friendly companies.

At this particular workplace, it took 90 seconds or so for me to walk from my desk to my car, so it wasn't a big deal. I was also used to the routine, and preferred the certainty that no one would ever walk in on me.

Did he ever get a reply?
From the perspective of a healthcare provider:

First, every patient has very valuable knowledge for their physician: their symptoms. There's absolutely no substitute, and as a patient you are the definitive source for that information and the undisputed expert.

Second, I do find that it's very often helpful when my patients have done some reading about their condition. It shows engagement in their care and is a great way to jumpstart the conversation. And it gives me a good idea of the level of insight into their disease and the best way to approach the patient education part of my task.

However, to be clear, it is my responsibility ethically and legally to have the expertise to treat you and to apply that expertise in making an assessment and plan. If I find that I don't have the expertise that's necessary, I should be consulting with or referring you to another medical professional who does. It's your right to have your physician's thinking explained to you and to agree or disagree with the plan, and if you think your physician is wrong, it's also your right to ask for a second opinion. However, it is never ethical for me to rely on your medical judgment in formulating a plan.

So, please don't take it the wrong way when your physician limits the amount of research he or she will hear from you. I stick to strict boundaries even with patients who are physicians themselves--even when they are significantly more senior and experienced. And when I'm the patient, I try my hardest to describe only my symptoms, confident that I will receive better care that way.

if you believe the cerebellum mainly contributes to movement. Some argue that it also contributes to "cognition", as Herculano-Houzel points out. Interesting that her group previously reported that, across evolution, brains maintain a linear relationship between number of neurons in neocortex and number of neurons in the cerebellum:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20300467/.
The finding that 97.5% of neurons in the elephant brain are in the cerebellum would seem to contradict the idea that brains maintain a constant neocortical/cerebellar neuron ratio. The elephant paper attributes the huge number of cerebellar neurons to sensorimotor input, i.e., probably trunk stuff: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4053853/
MCQ on Software Testing in Software Engineering Part-2 – InfoTechSite
I think that's a big misunderstanding about meal plans in general. What is a "fitness meal plan"? Why "traditional" meal plan cannot count macronutrients? It's not necessarily to lose / gain weight, any food is important and should eventually be tailored to specific people.
Continuing the trend of stating the obvious, it is absolutely possible to load food with too much sugar or fat that offers practically no marginal nutritional value. I say marginal because of course to a starving person the calories brought in by sugar are valuable, but probably not to a person who is generally able to get their calories from a wide range of sources and in general wants to control their caloric intake.

Empty calories is not a moral judgment. It is a statement of fact.
It's true. Homeless people have no money. The difference between 200 and 2000 a month doesn't matter, they can't afford either.
PubViz - Tool for interactive visualization of publication data

The economist and food critic Tyler Cowen often writes that the best food is typically in low-rent areas for precisely this reason. If fixed costs are low, then the restaurant can afford to focus on the quality of the food a bit more. This is particularly true for many varieties of ethnic food, where the restauranteurs may be immigrants without a lot of money to put up, but a rich knowledge of the food from their home country.
Actually knowing where you are at puts you way ahead of the curve. Many developers don't even know they are not that good. If you love it and seem to have excelled already in a similar area you just need time. Even just knowing that good development is not just writing a quick perl script or copying and pasting the tutorial code or stack overflow answer is a good sign and would probably set you apart from most I know.
Isn't more about the type of food you eat instead of just calories? I tried to eat less but then I end it up having to eat again in the middle of the day.
As soon as someone starts pulling out anecdotes to generalize people, I don't read much past that.

And seriously, locking up people for not living in homes and working? We used to do that in my country back in the late 19th century, it was a very handy law for the government to dust off when you had to jail protesters or strikers in the street.
So.. ransomware authors want payments in Bitcoins. The obvious counter-attack from the governments would be to target and shut-down all services exchanging bitcoins (or other digital money) to real money. Heck, they can hack them and delete all data, so they shut down on their own.

Sure they are. Perhaps further on some things. It just depends on what aspect of the truth you are talking about. Economic reality or the age of the earth?

Mistaking bias, value judgement or personal preference for objective reality is a common mental trap. It's taken people, organizations and even whole cultures down many times.
I'm glad that you've found something which worked for you, and perhaps it will work for others as well. But it doesn't seem to me like "eat less lunch" is a direct alternative to napping, generalizable to the whole population as "better".
