I've trained myself how to do this. Sure, call them psychics. I usually attribute them as having an innate ability to do this.

As for me, there are schools of magic that teach how to develop this. I didn't believe at first, but with enough "coincidences", I accepted it tentatively.

I still seek for a way to harmonize this with science proper. But most people are too caustic and closed-off to even give this a consideration.

There are really 2 options:

1. Everything is purely physical. When you die, you are worm food, the end. Many people 'believe' this, given no proof of either way.

2. The other option is that there is some unknown type of "energy" (boy, do I hate that word, BTW). And our bodies are some sort of receiver. Some times, we can receive other stuff. It would also explain out of body experiences, dreams that feel like more, feeling people watching you, near-death experiences, parents being able to sense when their child's hurt at a distance, and other things. How does this work? No bloody clue.

If everything's simply physical, then who cares? You're worm food anyways. The second offers much more - some people can communicate with it. So, how does it work? How can I receive it, say, from a computer receiver? How do I transmit? How do I view it?

But hostiles will be hostiles, well, until we start seeing more "Science of Consciousness" work. Then finally, we can bring the Occult and Psychism to science proper.

(EDIT: Wow, again, another mod-storm. It seems the staunch atheists and antitheists are going at this thread with a vengeance.

I'm only highlighting 'interesting' phenomenon, for a possibility others might find something interesting and share their findings. You know, it's kind of how science works. Well, unless it's an echo-chamber filled with sycophants repeating their own religious dictates that 'the occult and psychism doesnt exist'. I know the path I understand it, but it is unprovable to others. Tl;Dr: study of N=1.

I'll wait for you deniers to explain consciousness. I'll be waiting.)

The article misses the most important point about what happens when wolves are raised like dogs.

The full-grown wolf will be a wonderful and intelligent member of the household right until the master of the house shows some sign of injury. Then your loving pet will try to take control of "the pack".

This is the primary reason that they have to get euthanized. At that point they cannot live in the wild, and they are no longer safe to have in your home.
Interestingly, I've mostly seen this happen in the other direction - with successfully growing companies.

Weekly lunch for a whole company isn't a huge deal at a startup, and it's not going to shorten the runway much. But when you've suddenly got 10x or 100x the original employee count it starts to look less pleasant. By the time a company is spending several salaries worth of money on free lunches, it probably looks tempting to cut them. (And it's probably less destructive when everyone knows the finances are going strong.)
However, the title appeals only to my curiosity about what "the worst Humanitarian crisis since [Godwin's Law]" might refer to. Leaving that out baits me into clicking.
Yup, I've said as much elsewhere in this thread. Good for fun treats, not so good for the urban resident trying to get a cooked dinner in front of his family every meal.
I'm talking about things like what farm the produce came from, how was this beef finished, etc. I'm often amazed that even at farmer's markets, I don't get this information.

Then you're not really at a farmers' market, are you? At mine I look at the sign and it tells me what farm's table I'm standing in front of.

You've never met a call center.

They've also written people's credit card info on sticky notes.

A look back at Amazon’s 1997 IPO
Be who you want to be. At 18 I thought I could do what I wanted and eventually morph into a person that had qualities I valued.

You won't magically turn into who you want to be. If you want to be a hard working person then start working hard. If you want to be an independent person stop depending on others. If you want to be a nice person then start being kind and empathetic towards others. You have to BE, right now and in the present, who you want to become.

So simple and self evident but I didn't figure it out until my mid-late 20s.

I would second the never start drinking and stop doing drugs advise but pretty sure 18 year old me would never listen to that advice.

The better approach is to argue and decide what it is that we want to try and improve rather than decide a priori based on arbitrary heuristics[1]. It is not in human nature to fly, yet many would agree that inventing airplanes was a good idea. This is exactly what politics is for: to collectively decide what goals we should collectively try to achieve.

[1]: You see this approach in people who like following a fixed, simple set of rules, rather than exercising fluid judgment. E.g. you'll see some who claim that the line for coercion falls at physical violence, that changing attitudes is "fighting nature" but technology isn't, etc..
> employer is legally required to pay the minimum wage for that shift.

Right because if you're getting paid $2/hr + tips and make less than min wage because you didn't get tipped, you sure have the means to file a lawsuit.

If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out.
> and we shouldn't be praising them not attaining their stated goals

My post wasn't intended as praise for career services... it was intended as praise for departments and universities that prepare their students for internships and jobs.

> and their goals don't matter to their customers -- students

I don't know this, but I think a lot of the dedicated professionalized career services people are mostly there more to placate clueless parents. It's marketing, and it works.

> none of my friends ever found the career services people to be helpful in any meaningful way

Absolutely. The scare quotes in my original post are there fore a reason...

That said, good career services people are usually work closely with or are even embedded in the department -- not a separate service in the admin building. They ensure that there are regular talks from the alumni network or local community. That companies are invited to come in for an evening and talk about what they're working on / what skills they need. And then ensure those companies are invited back to job fairs etc. in the Fall, with companies who take it as a serious opportunity and who you think are most likely to fast track your students' resumes.

In fact, at smaller universities/departments, the best career services employees are typically professors who keep in contact with graduated students are former colleagues.
Love that site.
Yes, but jumping between Python and Javascript is really easy. I do it myself, even in the same day, without problems.

In the same way as people who can talk English, Spanish, French, and Italian, can easily jump between those languages in the very same meeting/social event.

I do agree with your point, for example it is easy for me to mix words as belonging to Portuguese versus Italian; but that's because i don't really speak those languages.

The bottom line is -- once you learn them, there is hardly any trouble.
In other words, think of the children!

Toyota started preparing ahead of time for battery recyling years ago for the prius well before there was a need. Honda Tesla and other companies have also been proactively working on it.

Lead acid batteries can be and are recycled very well. Lithium Ion is harder but it can be done.

It is worth noting that even ignoring battery recycling, an average Li car battery is going to be about ~600lbs of material (currently, this seems to still be improving)

A gasoline powered car that does 30mpg and lasts 200k miles will burn through ~475,200lbs of material in it's life. Putting it all into the atmosphere.

I've yet to track down any real attempt at quantifying the sum total lifetime environmental costs of electric vs gas powered vehicles that wasn't clearly a hatchet job by one 'side' or the other. I'm sure some exist, maybe someone can post some good references.
>Try finding tandoori spice rub, or pink lemons, or dried currants.

Made the Chiles Rellenos last night, sure I could get a can of tomato paste for fifty cents, but I only needed a 4th of the can. When I made the catfish curry, I was thinking to myself, where do I even buy curry? Apparently I can go on Amazon and get a 5 pack of 12-serving cans.

I don't think the plastic mass I have to deal with is good, but I also threw out a bunch of my roommate's moldy leftovers while cooking my Blue Apron meal.
And that's what we call Religion.
My partner and I have tried several of the meal delivery services (Plated, Home Chef, Hello Fresh) for over a year now. We have not bothered to try Blue Apron, despite the aggressive marketing and less-than-enthusiastic recommendations.

We live in an area where it is inconvenient to find the variety and quality of meats and vegetables available.

It is very obvious to me, that operationally, there are significant differences in the material handling and logistics from each provider.

We now mostly rely on Home Chef. It's variety of ingredients and recipes rivals that of Plated, but its packaging is more thoughtful, like Hello Fresh. In my experience, Home Chef has the most accurate order packaging, as well (missing or wrong items).

I would put my money on Home Chef.

> Overall the machine works well but I’m still not happy with the hopper and the first stage belt. It is running much slower than the speed at which the parts recognizer works (30 parts / second) and I really would like to come up with something better.

It sounds like your existing hopper is reliable but slow? If that's the case, could you just make two (perhaps somewhat smaller) hoppers and merge their outputs?
I don't know very much about the situation there. If there's anybody that does could you enlighten me about something?

It does not become clear from the article how to problem has come into existence. Only crops have failed in Somalia because of the absence of spring rain. What has caused the famine in the rest of the countries? Was the drought so widespread? Are the other mentioned countries dependent on Somalia for their food? Seems like SA also blocks a port that is vital for food imports.

Mozilla was never able to leverage its success in the desktop browser market into a successive platform story that evolved into mobile and beyond. They realized this too late, and then their extreme over-correction was to build a new mobile operating system. However an open-source OS already existed in the market with AOSP so FirefoxOS needed to try to thread a convoluted set of needles to justify its existence. It actually was a confusing set of Android Browser web-apps mixed with an OS for new devices -- a contradictory strategy that they could never resolve.

The worst part of the current tech-environment is that companies are dead years before they even know it. The next platform is already tearing apart your current one, while its in its infancy. And the entrenched players in the next space will be incredibly hard to unseat.

By the time you recognize the threat, attempt to turn the ship to respond, you are already deep down aware that there is very little chance of a happy ending. This results in convoluted late-stage product strategies that have 3+ directions since management knows no single one of them are viable.

This is a deeply uncomfortable truth that keeps me up at night.
I have very little basis for what to expect in the article:

- Is this about the media not communicating what's important but rather chasing clicks/ratings?

- Is this about something that is actually wrong that needs to be paid attention to?

- Is this about the over saturation of non-profits and their inability to market well?

I guess I'll have to see for myself.
It's not just the setup of a self-hosted solution, but maintenance, and otherwise. If you look at the enterprise space, bigger and bigger companies are becoming comfortable with cloud-hosting of services. Growth of companies like Okta demonstrate that shift. As far as it being acceptable, I think there are a few things to consider:

1. The Slack model is such that your staff could start using it without even getting permission from the top. This is the Slack strategy for sales. It comes into companies from the bottom, so companies are more responding to the fact that their employees are using it vs bringing it in from the top.

2. Yes there are risks with cloud products, but risk is a cost consideration so you look at cost impact to the company of a breach and you compare that to a self-hosted high maintenance solution. This is a much more difficult calculation and it really depends on the size of your company, the value of the information Slack will be holding, etc. It's also possible Slack could be seen as more secure because an internal system breach may not include a complete Slack hosted breach. It could be seen as data segregation and diversification.

3. Slack is not the only company that is making inroads here. Slack is known well in the tech industry, but less-so in other industries. Microsoft is a giant because Skype for Business is huge, and there's many others.

We can ask people to simply not trust traditional newspapers for reporting on stories concerning highly technical and scientific fields.
I know ART features an AOT compiler...

So basically they're not JVMs and Java bytecode but rather JVM and bytecode analogues that serve roughly the same purpose (post-Dalvik AOT ART notwithstanding).

This isn't very good argument.

Infix mathematical and logical notation is a tiny part of the code that I write. More complicated mathematical productions lead me to fully parenthesize the statement anyway.

Further, to my knowledge there isn't a high level 'fully infix' language. I suspect it would be pretty difficult to use.

the parenthesis argument is literally:

verb(nouns) + some syntactic sugar

vs.

(verb nouns) + some different syntactic sugar that's often user defined.

> Russia

Accusations without evidence are irresponsible; incorrect attribution erodes trust and justifies resentment that lasts far longer than the current situation.

The article discusses evidence suggesting that Ukraine was the target, but that's only circumstantially suggests that Russia may be responsible. Proper attribution of anything on the internet is already incredibly difficult. The history of false flags and other deception-based motives makes the problem even harder.

> Best case is all sides escalate cyber-weapon "strength" to unthinkable levels and we enter a new cold-war standoff.

No, the best case is for software authors to be held liable for the safety problems in the infrastructure they create. MAD isn't going to stop other parties - even script kiddies - from exploiting the same bugs. Yes, it will cost a lot of time and money, but we've known how to build secure systems for a long time[1].

Escalating another conflict between the two largest nuclear powers is a plan that has a very good chance of getting a lot of people killed.

From the article:

>> The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “[The attack] again proves the Russian thesis that such a threat requires cooperation on the global level.”

I have a lot of issues with the current administration of Russia, but this is how we will survive the brave new technological world. MAD relies on the fear of retaliation; a far more reliable method of deterring hostilities is to create the situation where each side no longer wants a conflict, which can be accomplished with economic interdependencies. You don't bomb - conventionally, atomically, or with a weaponized computer virus - the business partners you rely on.

How about Bork himself in 1963 [1]:

> The incipiency theory starts from the idea that it is possible to nip restraints of trade and monopolies in the bud before they blossom to Sherman Act proportions. It underlies the Clayton Act, the Robinson-Patman Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act. [...] The courts have used the incipiency notion as a license for almost unlimited extrapolation, reasoning from any trend toward concentration in an industry that there is an incipient lessening of competition. [...] In case after case the FTC, for example, nails down its finding that competition is injured with the testimony of competitors of the respondent that his activities and aggressiveness may or have cost them sales. [...] When the head of the Antitrust Division or the FTC reports to a congressional committee, protocol requires that he wear a suitable number of bloody scalps of businessmen at his belt.

If someone is attacking our infrastructure often they will do SOMETHING. I don't know what, but they have no choice. There has been enough ransomware this year that anyone who fell victim is criminally negligent. There are lots of ways to prevent this attack: more frequent backups, more frequent updates, and physical disconnection of the systems (probably more). All of the above should be there in some form anyway.

This will probably mean hospitals and the FDA get much stricter about what is allowed on medical devices. You cannot update because of risk: that means you can only have certified software. Microsoft will not like being told they are not allowed in hospitals and in turn will be more secure.

It is a race, and whoever is doing this is showing their cards early which gives everybody time to fix things. (I will not claim this there is enough time)
No one listens to what the media reports, these days. There have been loads of detailed articles in all forms - TV reports, print articles, radio reports, web specials, everything.

The problem is that certain persons of interest (cough The D) or crises (migrants, wars, financial crises) overload the media system, plus people who are poor don't have the mental capacity (or the will) to engage in this debate.

Also, many people just don't care, even if people are dying - at a local nazi demonstration, someone literally said "it's just ni..ers". Racism is well alive, especially when people don't have much left (e.g. after becoming jobless due to German reunification scandals) and right-wing politicians fuel the fire by telling people that refugees might steal their social aid or other cr.p.
Hmm. Tough problem. What about a couple of "tables" which vibrate back and forth at a really shallow angle, just enough to move pieces in one direction? I have gravel sorting tables with screens in mind, but the same principle with a solid table to just break down a heap into a flat layer may just work.

I think that a couple of tables, cones, and dividers (to create lanes of pieces) could do a reasonable job of turning a heap of pieces into a steady stream of individual pieces.
probably because the need is real, just not the "for natural disaster" reason they gave.
So it's about their inability to do good marketing? That's not about people paying attention, that's just a PR problem.

This is so only for the core language with no libraries. API provided by PHP until recently typically provided convince over any notion of safety leading to terrible bugs.

For example, it is hard with C API for databases or templates to get SQL injection or XSS bugs. With PHP it is trivial and such usage still simpler than safer versions.
Most products in this space are pretty obtuse, so I'm excited about TimescaleDB because of the people who started it and the tech it's built on. I was really underwhelmed by problems with Influx, and I don't think this group and this tech will have the same class of issues.

I think HBase is better than Cassandra for this workload, and I generally like its design sensibilities and consistency focus (gross oversimplification C* = MySQL, HBase = pgsql?) . OpenTSDB is one of the more mature scale out timeseries DBs and works with both. It works pretty well, but getting a production quality HBase setup is non-trivial. OpenTSDB has some decent built in aggregation and filtering functions, but queries over long time spans are quite slow because it has to pull all the data out of HBase and into the tsd daemon.. that can be fixed with what HBase calls a co-processor (think stored procedure in SQL) but it hasn't been done yet.

So, I think TimescaleDB is hitting a real need at the right time, and seeing how expressive and easy to reason those queries are, I am excited to give it a shot.
That wouldn't apply to Apple though. They don't care about interest, otherwise they would have supported modern OpenGL and Vulkan on macOS.
