Not sure if this is going to work, but instead of trying to explain what a function is at a theoretical level - which is a difficult concept to grasp at that age - why not show her the code without too much theory?

I'm not a programmer by profession, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, why not trying to show what a ruby add/multiply function looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def add(x,y)
b = x + y
return b # could be just "b" or omitted but I consider verbosity a *virtue* here
end

Of something like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def hello(name)
puts "Good morning, #{name}"
end

I believe Ruby is a better choice than Python because it can be more verbose, closer to English and doesn't rely on indentation. Javascript might be another option, but explaining the difference between class and function in JS to a novice might be problematic.

I see a lot of comments speculating that there may be something wrong with programming competition winners, but this result might be a statistical curiousity unique to Google. It's possible that for most companies, good at programming competitions could still be positively correlated with job performance. For example, what if most people whom Google hires could have won some programming competitions if they had wanted to (a situation that most other companies are probably not in)? In this case, 'won programming competitions' could be data that is a lousy filter for Google, yet a good filter for other companies.

I totally agree. Mr. Fowler's article lays out a good case for ORMs being a good, leaky abstraction with manholes for diving deeper when necessary. That implies that we can't, as application developers, use it as a black box, because underlying knowledge is important. Until someone comes up with a magic algebra for paving over the details SQL, we're stuck mitigating or dealing with its realities.

One of the things I've recently prioritized is the ability to run arbitrary queries (generally read-only) at some sort of REPL prompt, for debugging and investigative purposes. ORMs and their offshoots offer a great deal of support in that area because you can converse with an ORM in a domain-specific way without dropping into raw SQL. That can be a big advantage.

Good point, in essence it sounds like one theory people have is that competition winners have over-specialized, but your theory is that there could be floor effects in the range of ability at Google (i.e. the floor is high, many people at Google could win competitions).
The bigger economic problem is a tragedy of the commons. Everyone benefits from the energy that they individually get from fossil fuels. Everyone pays for a share of everyone's contribution to global warming. When you get all of the reward and only a fraction of the cost from your personal use, it is in your personal interest to have burned fossil fuels even when the total cost far exceeds your individual reward.

You don't have to start using every single feature from day 0, you can write JavaScript with types (in classes), and let other (e.g. variable) types be inferred. Even that small subset of features can catch almost every null reference error you've ever got.
I don't think this is desirable in general. In the case of an individual, it makes sense to have a "live or die together" behaviour (mostly). I don't think this is the case with modern societies (cities or countries). It's completely plausible that a single individual has conflicting interests with the the rest of the system, and still, the individual (and the system) is better off doing its own thing.

Try to explain programs as a to do list for computers. This might be hard since her fist exposure to computers is HTML/CSS. kind of sad actually. How did that happen? Just curious...

Maybe show her that she can put dots of any colors on screen using html canvas and javascript. Show her how to draw lines. How to draw circles and color them. Show her how to move them....That should be enough to get her off from Html/Css and move to real computer programs...

May be just leave her alone..encourage her to spend less time with computers and go out and play with other kids..She is 10 year old, right?
Regarding the blog post: it's simply a numbers game: the odds that one of a hundred articles picks up momentum is way larger then the odds of one blog post picking up momentum. Sometimes it's better to spend the time you'd invest in one great article on ten articles instead. Or write a hundred great articles, and you're very likely to have success.

Regarding the marketing part: if my own start-up learned me anything, it's that great marketing can launch a mediocre product, but if you have mediocre marketing, your product will need to be extremely good to gain any traction.

TL;DR: business requires hard work, and shortcuts usually don't work. Outliers and survivorship bias apply to the posts that claim otherwise.

Thank you for the response - I appreciate the complexity, I had just been wondering if there was actually a full time team on it.

From my limited insight (we collaborate with Google Brain), it was my impression that the core problem around such questions is that most research engineers with the expertise to do this are (and I understand this very well as a researcher) more interested in doing research than do full time language porting, and I would expect that to be the case for almost anyone with the expertise.
It could have changed within the hour, especially if - as others said - it's a morning routine thing. In that case almost all users/streams could stop across a one hour period.
> Collect premiums via payroll taxes->fund healthcare providers. That greatly simplifies it, but there are many other first world models we can pick from. This is not hard.

I entirely agree with you on that and your assessment on how the finance/tax part of it is not as scary as some would think, it might even perhaps not be the hardest part of the problem.

My personal belief in single-payer is that it is the only way to create a leverage to either create a public offer of healthcare goods and service, or radically modify the power imbalance and drive the prices of goods and services way down. The thing that worries me is that in both cases, what I understand as being a total healthcare bubble, which I am sure is a well organized lobby, won't exactly be thrilled at letting things happen without a fight :)

I feel the "slander conspiracy" against the Louis XVI household was only a tiny part of the entire French Revolution which started in 1789 -- if it ever was a conspiracy. All the beginning was a financial crisis faced by the French government, as a result of the enormous help they provided to the American people when they were fighting their war of independence (which could be further traced back as a revenge to the British, as they defeated the French during the Seven Years' war).

And even this financial crisis was not that a decisive factor that led to the overthrown of the French monarchy. The overthrown was quite accidental, and it was the result only after the failed Estates-General convention of 1789 (which somewhat could be attributed to the arrogant attitude of the upper class representatives ) and later the failed attempt to establish a constitutional monarchy due to Louis XVI's reluctance to cooperate. It was just a series of accidents, with very little chance for all of them to be what they turned out to be...It was really a small probability event for Loius XVI to be tried and then guillotined.

Further, if you read the whole paragraph, I feel what Arendt means for your quoted sentence is that the revolution, as it showed in its ostentatious appearance of violent riots, would never be possible had there been no "devolution of a regime", which was a process that happened in the everyday lives of people in that country. I think the "street" in her text means those upper middle class people in the Third Estate (i.e. a majority of whom were neither clergy nor nobleman but hommes de lettres).

To get a job in Berlin one has to answer itself an important and fundamental question "what's the lowest salary you can accept?" (it gets lower as one becomes more desperate so it's worth to play ontime, the rent will not become any cheaper, and the monthly health insurance contributions - oh boy).
For wind at least, it turns out you want to put the batteries as close to the wind turbines as possible, rather than close to the consumer. The reason is that this evens out the power delivery over the grid. If you put the batteries close to the consumer, the grid from the turbines to consumer must cope with peak generation capacity (powering peak demand, plus charging batteries), whereas if the batteries are close to the turbine the grid only needs to cope with peak wind demand (i.e generation capacity minus battery charging), which is considerably less. Source: from a conversation with someone in high in a major wind power generator.

I've learned not to add a feature before I have someone who paid an advance.
Secondly: your product might be to overwhelming and doing to much; experience has thought me that complicated products are a though sell. Try to reduce it to it's most basic use-case, and sell that (a simple app that doesn't require any explanation at all). Once you have paying customers you'll be able to upsell by offering your more advanced features. People are reluctant to change, so you need to expose them gradually.

My response would be that you are casting society and societal organisation in terms of absolutes and extremes. Some people - Rand for example - believe that all redistribution is always wrong and immoral. Some people participate in this fantasy. Many, many people don't, many many people pay taxes happily, and vote for taxes because they realise that redistribution prevents poverty and promotes social harmony - due to ensuring that there is a minimal population of murderous starving feral children. Many nations do not compete all the time, many nations co-operate and support each other, most of the time.

At the same time most people see elastic limits in redistribution of wealth, space, time and privilege. For example it is widely believed that it's ok for less privileged groups to take public space and media time to protest and illustrate the injustice that has placed them in extremis. However to do so to the extent that others cannot care for their children or enjoy their basic rights - safety, shelter, is unacceptable.

Isaiah Berlin is a good read.
From link in article: "There is a significant challenge here. During speech, the mouth forms between 10 and 14 different shapes, known as visemes. By contrast, speech contains around 50 individual sounds known as phonemes. So a single viseme can represent several different phonemes."

Seems like facial recognition has advanced enough that the mapping of video to visemes can be done similarly as in the Portland Digit Recognition Test (plus face direction).

For the phoneme mapping problem, I'm just wondering how videos with subtitles could be used for training data.
Perhaps the better conclusion is that the concepts of "proper behavior" or "optimal outcome" can often be misleading or ill-posed.
Inside Station F, the startup megacampus that just opened in Paris
The turnover of EDF in France in the 90" was above $40 billion. 60% of its production was from nuclear, hence the nuclear costed more than $24 billion each year just to be operated. For a country like France this is huge, several percent of the GDP of that time. But nobody was discussing about that issue mainly because the CGT union had a tight grip on EDF governance.
> Can anyone recommend any other such middle ground resources on type systems and type system theory?

I really enjoyed Pierce's Types and Programming Languages. As I recall, he starts with the simple untyped lambda calculus, and builds a motivation for a type system, as well as the type system itself. It then switches to ML (or perhaps OCaml) and shows how features can be built-in to a type system as they're described.

I think it's a good fit - I know you said not heavy academic texts, but I don't think it's too heavy, it's at the level of an introductory undergraduate course. (Beware Advanced Topics in ~ by the same author which probably is on the heavier end, I don't know, I haven't braved it yet!)
I find that more convenient than inconvenient.
> It sounds more like CPU clock cycles, may be confusing to those who see it that way?

Having non-CPU cycles is extremely common in emulators and VMs, you can just say it's a "virtual cycle of the eth VM", something along those lines.
Maybe for historical or regulatory reasons those are not always accessible, whatever their value. And in any case costs have been moving lightning fast, so something that I priced up for a utility a couple of years ago may now be a fraction of the CAPEX...

The UK regulatory system is being tweaked furiously to try to remove impediments to otherwise worthwhile arrangements as far as I can see. One can argue about whether it's being done right.
Last year around November(2016) I finally had the time to build my first mobile app. My goals are: to learn React Native and build a mobile app and publish it to Google Play. At my previous work I'm pretty much knowledgeable in integrating CRMs (ie.Salesforce, SugarCRM and Highrise.) into Gmail via chrome extension so building API backend wont be a problem. I noticed at that time that only Highrise CRM has no official Anroid/Ios app offering so I decided to implement it myself. Initially I implemented highrise tasks feature and figure out later what the users need via feedback. I completed the app within a month uploaded it to Google Play[0] and built a simple website[1] for it. Being a Highrise user who opt in for their new products announcement, one moring around December (2016) I got an email from Highrise announcing their official mobile apps for android and iOS. So that was it. I had no chance of competing with the official apps. I got around 5 install on Google Play which already had uninstalled my app.

Expenses:

$10 for the domain

$25 for Google Play Developer Fee

around $20 for few months api backend hosting (Digital Ocean $5/month) then I migrated the code and hosted to free Heroku plan to save cost.

I would extend this to most competitive endeavours.
I found Tomas Petricek's essay on "Against a universal definition of 'Type'" very informative. He argues that the word 'type' has shifted shape many times since Frege/Russel, in that the intuition behind them is different. He also argues that multiplicity of definition is a good thing.

Firstly, I guess some of the urgency comes down to whether or not you think climate change is real and that it needs to be acted upon with some urgency.

As to the cause of the outage it is not quite as simple as that.

The SA government certainly believes in climate change since they decided to move away from coal and now get most of their energy from renewables.

But because of this, they got blamed for the blackouts by the opposition parties, who put the blackout down to the mad rush into renewables.

Now there is an election coming up next year, so I have no doubt the opposition would have used that same argument during that election.

But where I think this might backfired and why I think the SA Premier has come up with a master stroke, is come this December SA will have it's battery and in part because of climate change, it will be stinking hot all over Australia.

So if the SA battery works as designed and helps to keep all the SA air conditioners running at maximum, it will be a very big win for the SA Government.
