> But by allowing for the possibility that the measurement setting for one particle can retrocausally influence the behavior of the other particle, there is no need for action-at-a-distance—only retrocausal influence.

I don't quite get it. According to GR, non-locality and retrocausality are equivalent. So how is retrocausal QM different from Bohmian mechanics/pilot wave theories?
I started separating the admin from the "theme" by using the wordpress rest api (admin running in a subdomain). While this might seem overkill at first but I find that there's a lot less documentation to read and I can reuse a lot more code from other projects without any changes.

Beyond that, defining js types and interop with Reason/BS has probably been the most pleasant experience in a compile-to lang that I've used.
> I upgraded last year and it was from a 920 to a 6600K. Even the 920 did much of what I wanted, honestly, it was more a luxury upgrade.

The 920 is a solid performer, but oh my does it need efficient cooling. At launch it almost felt like a return to the Pentium 4 era in terms of power consumption.

If I were to upgrade my 920 anytime soon, it would be to reduce the need for cooling fans and to get a quieter system. As a programmer, I don't need more ultra-cores or jigga-hertz.
Oh man, piping dd through ssh! This brings back a fond memory: I was learning Unix at the time, but never used pipes for anything serious (cat | grep, not much more). I had to clone a machine at my internship; all the Windows guys used some specific tools for that, but this was a Linux box, so their tools wouldn't work. When I had the idea of piping dd through ssh, I thought I was so clever! I was really impressed that it actually worked, too. That's when I realized the power of the Unix philosophy.
Isn't this another blanket theory that magically explains a ton of 'spooky' stuff without actually proving it? Just asking from a common's people point of view. I'm a practical person, I need tangible facts...

Even with a very intense overclock, Sandy Bridge is starting to fall behind the pack in gaming. Not obsolete by any means but 5 years of even incremental IPC gains do add up, and Sandy Bridge is still running PCIe 2.0. The 2500k is starting to come out 30-50% behind the 7600K in many titles let alone a 7700K, which is a very perceptible difference.

http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2773-intel-i5-2500k-revisi...

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-is-it-...

For "work" workloads, Sandy Bridge is still quite potent though. Honestly in that segment the gains have mostly been coming from moving to more cores. A hexacore or octacore with hyperthreading/SMT knocks the stuffing out of an i5.

>Fields and field full of noisy and ugly windmills when nuclear requires far less land.

Terrestrial wind turbines can be sited in otherwise usable land. Or offshore.

>Windmills and solar kill birds at a much larger rate than activists would seem to care about.

A rate which is many orders of magnitude lower than killed by buildings, cats, coal plants, etc. This becomes a complex discussion when localized, sensitive populations are relevant, but on the whole it isn't a big issue.

I agree with all these points completely, and I'd like to extend a bit more:

* The criticism of cloud-based storage isn't really valid. Any decent password manager should only sync the encrypted data, and never move anything unencrypted.
* Browser integration isn't obligatory. Lots of PM's don't use that, and lots of users are okay with that, so that attack surface isn't an intrinsic part of a classic password manager.
What on earth are you talking about? I mean all of it: Republics, invidious prose, copywriters, a literary precedent, England being a republic, rent-a-kings...

Investigating the Potential for Miscommunication Using Emoji (2016)
In another comment I listed technologies that I see as having changed the world during my lifetime. AR is not on that list, because AR has not yet changed the world (with the exception of the AR rifle scope, which is 90s era technology. http://www.opticsplanet.com/thermal-imaging-scopes.html )
There are so many frameworks, tools and layers of abstraction out there that I find it helps to dip down a layer and taste what life is like without framework or tool X. Ideally, it's quite painful and you immediately appreciate what the tool is getting for you. You also might learn that the tool would be very helpful for circumstances you do not currently face (e.g large scale software engineering when you are exploring via a side project), and hang out in the lower layer until further motivated to climb back up.

Some concrete examples:

- you are using THREE.js. Try out raw webgl to draw a square. Run frighted back to THREE.js' arms and have some appreciation for what it is doing for you

- you are new to web development. Try working with the DOM directly. Then try something like knockout or angular that helps track dependencies between your view model and the dom. Then try out React. React has achieved wide-spread acceptance for a reason, I think it's the best pattern. But it's also the most abstract from the reality of what's happening underneath the hood, so taking steps up to the top can really help

- you are playing with scikit-learn and throwing various models at a classification problem. try implementing basic logistic regression using only numpy arrays. Try to understand how you could adapt your implementation `fit`, `transform` and `predict` interface used by sklearn.

A couple of recent articles that show this habit in practice:

I love braces and semicolons and my biggest gripe with CoffeeScript and HAML and Python was that they used space to delimit blocks. The good thing about braces is that moving code around is easy and it makes auto-formatting possible. refmt, prettier etc. are all amazing to have.

But in terms of syntactic preferences, it is quite subjective and I wouldn't claim there is one true answer.
This is basically contracting a company or a small company if you want to talk about small teams. I don't get the difference between this and your proposal.
I was never a big fan of Microsoft Basic. My prefered systems were BBC Basic (BBC Micro) and Locomotive BASIC (Amstrad CPC). Locomotive was larged based on BBC BASIC and both had a command called RENUM that would renumber your source for you. It was invaluable for smaller projects but I remember some of my larger projects I would have routines separated by thousands. eg

10 REM main routine
20 REM do stuff
1000 REM another routine
1010 REM do other stuff
2000 REM a 3rd routine

Then have GOSUBs / GOTOs using the n*1000 as the entry point into that routine. RENUMing the source when you've got the aforementioned structure was not an option.
But what if you got that wrong?
Except that currently genomics requires even more information to be encoded - such as quality scores, allele frequencies, phase information, ... - so, depending on the format, this estimate is off by either one or two orders of magnitude still.
BigQuery vs. Redshift vs. Athena benchmark: update #2
Note that you're answering a different question than the original comment in this chain: "can we breed for human traits, including intelligence?" versus "is the behaviour of dogs/humans/animal species AS THEY ARE RIGHT NOW more skewed towards nature or nurture?"

Nature/nurture is not a yes/no question, but one of ratios. Nurture inherently reflects the ability to learn things that are not innate - so the more intelligent a species is, the more room there is for nurture.

With that in mind, arguing that any other species is more skewed towards nature than nurture compared to humans is stating the obvious, comparable to saying "because of genetics you cannot train a dog to grow up to become an elephant."

This however does not state anything about what that nature/nurture ratio is among humans.
In addition to a new kernel at boot, several libraries in base are also randomly re-linked, including libc and libcrypto, which are prime targets.

This means that in addition to the dynamic linker loading libraries at random addresses, in a random order, the offsets inside the library itself are different on each boot, and on each system.

For one, what if the hiring company interviews the
team and wants 7 of the 10?

In the model OP is talking about, that's not allowed. You either hire the whole team or none of them. The team knows this, so they're mostly not going to be running off to look at unrelated offers.
Pro/Con list everything. Don't read something as a best practice and take it as gospel. If best practices were really best practices, there wouldn't always be new best practices. When you pro/con it, you understand why.

It's not that everyone is full of beans, but what works for their environment doesn't necessarily work for yours. The best shoe size is 10 wide. I know, I've been wearing them for over 20 years.

Also test your assumptions. It's super simple to determine if doing it this way is faster/slower better/worse than doing it that way. Write a short script / console app prototype and put timers on it. It's much faster than arguing endlessly with someone over it. Collect some metrics.
My first thought is that this already exists in the form of consulting firms. My next thought is that a platform that made consulting firm discovery easier could possibly be a great thing.
France already has enormous nuclear capacity. They won't want to add much more; as it is, they're one of the few places to use nuclear energy for load-following.

Wind turbines and solar don't kill a significant number of birds; this is an old myth recently revived by Trump. In the US, wind turbines kill about 300k birds per year, power lines kill 30 million (mostly through collision), cars kill 200 million, and collision with buildings kills _600 million_.

While there's certainly room to improve on bird-wind turbine interactions, it's just not a major problem, and any resources used would be better spent improving the safety of buildings for birds.

Late to this thread so you may or may not see this but I do think that Locke's ideas are being attacked by the left. Perhaps not the "mainstream" left but certainly by the more radical left. Neoliberalism is practically a dirty word, the value free trade is doubted by many, property rights are seen as suspicious. How far any of these arguments will get is certainly in doubt but my sense is that they have more power now than at any other time in my adult lifetime (admittedly a short window).

Further I think that people who have this worldview see demographic change as a strong force in support of their views. A changing electorate will lead to changes in leadership.

We know how to deal with this, and have for years. A bot which instruments and invokes humans, learning about content and individuals both. Few humans are needed each time, and those need not be experts, if used well. 20 people is much more than enough. A candy machine, in an undergraduate lounge, can grade CS 101 exams.1 Ah, but discussion support - from Usenet to reddit (and on HN too), incentives do not align with need. Decades pass, and little changes. Perhaps as ML and croudsourcing and AR mature? Civilization may someday be thought worth the candles. Someday?

Edit: tl;dr: Future bot: "I have a submission. It has a topic, a shape, and other metrics. It's from a submitter, with a history. Perhaps it has comments, also with metrics, from people also with histories. I have people available, currently reading HN, who all have histories. That's a lot of data - I can do statistics. Who might best reduce my optimization function uncertainty? I choose consults, draw the submission to their attention, and ask them questions. I iterate and converge." Versus drooling bot: "Uhh, a down vote click. Might be an expert, might be eternal September... duh, don't know, don't care. points--. Duh, done."
Comparison with Clojurescript?
An alphabet isn't enough to describe some [stupid] bank password requirements (I do admit the banks are really the problem here though).

Two banks I've worked with recently:

* No consecutive digits, not your initials. Numbers cant be your day, month or year of birth.
* No repeating any symbol in the entire password. Cannot contain a subset of a previous key (I don't know how long the subset is to trigger this, but I do recall reusing 4 of 8 digits and seeing this).
In my opinion I find that the hard truth is that (1) linux battery performance will always be worse than windows and (2) over time linux will completely destroy your battery.

I've found that using a thinkpad and the TLP program helps 1 by setting some sane defaults and allowing for customization and it helps 2 by allowing the computer to better maintain the battery.

>When the International Committee for Weights and Measures announced that it would reconsider the kilogram definition, it said it would require three measurements with uncertainties below 50 parts per billion, and one below 20 ppb. But with the new NIST measurement, the world now has at least three experiments below 20 ppb — another was conducted by a Canadian team using a Kibble balance, the third by an international group that calculates the Planck constant based on the number of atoms in a sphere of pure silicon.

>The weights and measures committee will meet this month to establish a global value for Planck's constant by averaging the values calculated at NIST and other labs. And in 2018, at the next General Conference on Weights and Measures, the scientific community will draft a resolution to redefine kilogram based on this constant.

Looks like the current title "NIST to redefine the kilogram based on a fundamental universal constant" is confusing because it implies that NIST defines kilogram but it's International Committee's for Weights and Measures job.
This would allow us to predict the future and potentially allow for time travel as well. Seems unlikely from the implications alone, but let's see what peer review of the details will tell us.

Yanis Varoufakis: A New Deal for the 21st Century
Typically, improving latency also improves bandwidth, whereas typically, improving bandwidth hurts latency.
I agree with everything you said, except for the one axiom you state that everything else relies on:

"But the cohort born in 1980 will be much less productive, because it is smaller than it should have been, and that shows up in 2000 as a loss of young workers (compared to predictions), not old workers." (Emphasis mine.)

What defines what a group should have been? Predictions. But I've never heard of anyone calling a wrong prediction "losses" or "gains" before. If I'm predicted to sell a million units, and I only sell half that, did I "lose" half my sales? If a stock is predicted to go up a point, but goes down a point instead, did it "lose" two points?

Comparing what materialized as reality with predictions is a perfectly fine thing to do. But differences between the two are just wrong predictions, not gains and losses. You just simply can't lose something you never had.
The link I provided contains detailed benchmark results of the mentioned system against 6950x. In quite a few workloads, e.g. SPECwpc, it is beating 6950x by up to 42%. See page 4. The maths is really simple here - i9-7900x need to beat i7-6950x by 40% to match that performance.

i9-7900x is _NOT_ the fastest chip in the world, not even the fastest intel chip. Consumer/server difference is purely a marketing thing, my Xeon based workstation running CS:GO on daily basis is not a server.
I just assume my system is hacked at all times and act accordingly.

That is the only truly secure practice.

I would love to learn more about this. I've been programming in OCaml for a few months now and have stuck to records and immutable updates and modules for grouping behaviour. I really like this style compared to the object-oriented programming I was doing in Ruby.

Doesn't this store all your secret info in your .bash_history file, an unencrypted plain text file, with a convenient marker for finding it in the history file?

This is no better than just storing the password that DGP generates directly; it's deterministic and trivial to derive the password.

For somebody concerned about a "master password" being insecure, this is a far far worse solution.
It certainly should be. There limited things in the puzzle help as well.

For example, you can split each one of these regexes up into smaller ones based on positioning. Now some of them are simply "match any of the following characters" which can be combined together with set intersections (and something similar with "none of these characters).
You could have compressed everything you said into "Unamused Face"* (Can't post emoji here) instead of writing as much as you did.

>> a company might pay each member a bit more for a team experienced in working together, as in theory they should be more productive more quickly.

On the other hand, if you already have an established team, merging them when they see themselves as distinct groups might be tough.

The other issue I see is that I doubt companies will want this to become common in the industry. Even if it's great for hiring (and I think it often would be - especially for new projects), do you want support something that might encourage a group of all the employees in a particular specialization to band together and decide they want to all leave at once? I wouldn't. Especially since that might happen right at the time when new development is slowing down and deep knowledge about the current system is the most valuable asset related to the project.

If you have a hall full of developers, having lots of noisy PCs can be annoying.

Where I work, we optimized for more silent PCs, because all these things do add up, and given the perf/watt-ratio you can get out of modern CPUs, there's no reason for people to need to have noisy PCs.

Even at home, optimizing watt-usage, even for a desktop build, is not completely without merits. All my future projects are planned as fanless as possible. And I know others who do the same. And if Intel can't deliver that, they'll just go buy something Arm-based, like an Rpi 3, which these days are getting good enough to actually do production loads.

I'm not even getting close to wanting a system where the CPU alone can draw 400+ watts.

I guess dd is convenient if you want to keep the same partitions, but it's not generally necessary to do an exact bit copy to copy a Linux setup. You can use rsync or cp to copy, and then run update-grub on the target to make it bootable.
