I don't think it's Alice's responsibility to demonstrate her worth to her co-workers. If the company really thinks Alice is that much more valuable, they should easily be able to demonstrate that to Bob, Fob, and Gob. E.g. Alice should have more responsibility. If the company can't explain to Bob, Fob, and Gob why Alice is better, I think that's the company's problem and Bob, Fob, and Gob are right to be upset.

You can choose an escrow agent at checkout time, or alternatively pay the merchant directly and take your chances.

I bought something off OpenBazaar just to try it out, I paid the merchant directly and the item arrived promptly. It was a positive experience and I'd use it more if there was more stuff available that I wanted to buy.
So what is it useful for?
Where'd you get that idea? :)

You absolutely would need cladding on a light pipe, and lots of it. All kinds of optical materials are subject to darkening, clouding, and embrittlement by much lower levels of ionizing radiation than exist in the reactor [0]. Again, here we're talking about tremendous amounts of radiation over much of the pipe's length, so even small amounts of damage per unit length are going to quickly render the pipe useless for imaging.

Most AC isn't in secluded places of outstanding natural beauty, where drones increasingly are.
most patient recorded data isn't medically useful.

If you're talking about diagnosing a particular disease, you're probably right. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about having an overall holistic view of my health and fitness related data, and being able to combine it so I can look for interesting correlations / patterns to suit my own interests.

They weigh you at any doctor's office, on a more accurate scale. Weight trends are important, but at a granularity of a handful of measurements per year.

The "more accurate scale" part is irrelevant given that your bodyweight can fluctuate 3 or 4 pounds from one day to the next, based on hydration levels, undigested food in your stomach, etc. Trends over time, even if measured on slightly less accurate scales, are really more meaningful.

Anyway, I'm not really sure why we're even having this discussion. Are you arguing that EMR systems shouldn't make their data easily available to the end user? Because otherwise, this whole thing about Fitbit data is a red-herring. What I do with the data, what other data I mash it up with, etc. is really not what's at issue here.

He didn's say it doesn't matter, he said zero emissions won't solve the problem, that much of the damage is done.

It will still prevent exacerbating the problem.
Realistically, extreme negative emissions are a practical impossibility. Zero emissions are as well.

We still have an opportunity to reduce the extent of the damage. Major climate change is likely inevitable at this point as, realistically, the modest measures taken to date are insufficiently binding to be effective.

I don't think we've past the point of no return, yet, but we will certainly do so at some point given the real cost of taking action appears to grow faster than the political will to take action.

Who lets an Internet-facing production server run for a year without updates?

(So, okay, it is possible that whoever is responsible for that machine did install updates but did not reboot the server. But that still leaves that server running with a known vulnerability.)
The technology can be developed and then simply it will have to be society en mass to decide when and if we switch over to using it. Perhaps even the global community requiring the adoption at the same time, however nations will likely only want to transition when they are in a better position value wise compared to other nations. I think it could happen.
The Larsen C shelf collapse has nothing to do with climate change. Even climate scientists have been adamant about this fact.

As Antarctic glaciers flow out toward the ocean, they form shelves over the water. At ape point, the shelf becomes too large to sustain itself and collapses. This is what happened recently, and it's an event that would have happened no matter what.

No, but with this resolution my attention is almost always limited to a subset of what's on screen. The aspect ratio of the whole thing becomes increasingly irrelevant.

Interviewer here. Apologies for the tone, totally not intended. The true intend was to help PhDs be more prepared, not to express smugness.

Here are some details that were cut out of the post:

- we have an extensive engineering interview process, typically 3-4 sessions. First chat, tech screen, take home assignment, and half day hackathon with a few engineers
- sometimes we do the initial chat and tech screen together so we had a 40 min chat, and 20 min simple tech screen in this case
- proposed of simple tech screen is to decide if this person knows basic coding/problem solving (eg Josephus problem)
- goal is not to write code on the white board, but rather talk and discuss approach, general problem solving

This candidate was specialized in OR, so we asked an optimization related question (given an array of products and prices, how to spend all your money exactly). Instead of a discussion, the candidate dove into writing mathematical proofs, and after framing the goal of the exercise and a few hints, he ended up writing a 10-level deeply nested for loop...

Obviously I'm not trying to make generalizations, but I've interviewed over 100 candidates in my career, and there is a strong negative correlation with PhDs in particular, hence the article. Understandably, because they are trained in other methods, typically unsuitable to startups, as others have commented. But if they want to get into startups, I hope these tips would help.

To clarify OpenBazaar's "No Transaction Fees", it means there are no marketplace platform fees.

To compare with ebay, to sell an item for $500 and charge $20 for shipping ($520):

- eBay fee: ~10% of final bid value + 10% of any shipping charge added on = $52

- PayPal fee: 2.9% of payment = $15.08

The bitcoin network would eliminate the PayPal fees. (The bitcoin fees would still exist but presumably would be lower than 2.9%)

The OpenBazaar platform would eliminate the eBay platform fees.

While newsworthy and attention-getting, the consensus from scientists seems to be that this isn't really a sign of catastrophic climate change. While climate change likely played some role, it's mostly part of a natural process.

Are you kidding? Most people don't care where they work. And why should they? Most places are the same, especially--but not exclusively--for lower paying jobs. Is there a big difference between working at McDonald's or Burger King? Hell, there isn't a big difference working at various tech companies. Most people just don't want to starve and be homeless. You can apply to one employer at a time. And if they don't respond? How long are you going to wait for them to respond? Till your money runs out and you can't buy food or pay rent? Beyond that, while you're sleeping on a park bench with all your worldly possessions? I mean, surely, if you don't need to eat or have a roof over your head, then you have the luxury of applying to one or two companies at a time. The rest of us don't have that luxury. And really, all it requires is emailing your resume or filling out online forms. It's not that hard to apply to multiple places at once.

I believe that if you look at the work done at IRCAM since 1977, you'll find a lot on generating music—from scratch, or from interacting with musician, or from gestures…

So there is research on generating music, but like a lot of cool research, nobody is making an effort to turn it into products.
I get that, but it's a general point. You specifically called out producing audio, and I was curious if there were specific visual features that are necessary in producing audio. I get it for video editing. I also understand the general "I like high resolution" case.

I am wondering if there is something I am unaware of about the combination of high resolution and audio that made you call that out as a specific use case.
'my propaganda is better than your propaganda'
I'm not saying cryptocurrencies aren't interesting, I'm just saying you're overstating their case relative to other technologies and the novelty (eg, that it even is novel, as opposed to normal engineering on top of ideas that have been around decades) in saying that it's underrepresented.

(Also, AI and bots are the same topic, but that's a tangent.)

I would argue we should hear about them less than automated truck driving specifically, based on potential economic impact and current spending levels.

>"If it's just about moving the kids around," Steele says, "that's not as exciting as if it's a way of teaching that makes you smarter."

This seems like evidence that bilingualism doesn't actually make you smarter with neuromagic, but the investigator chose to instead interpret it precisely the opposite way.

I think a simpler explanation is that reading is a skill which has a component that is invariant with respect to the language. Identifying glyphs, pronouncing the words in your head etc.

Most Muslims don't do any of those things, either.

Meanwhile, some Christians do blow up abortion clinics, shoot up gay nightclubs, mosques and Sikh temples, and put Bible verses on their gunsights when shooting Muslims in the desert. And then you have Christian groups like the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda who do decapitate children, rape and pillage "for Jesus," and practice many of the same violent tactics as any Muslim extremist group.

You are right about there being a false equivalency, but it's not where you seem to think it is.
What I think a lot of people will initially miss in the critique of money provided by blockchains (read: Bitcoin) is the topology of the network as helpful in modeling cryptoeconomics (read: economics).

Any meaningful definition of a blockchain should prove useful in modeling the systems of money preceded by it. I honestly don't know why people think bitcoins and dollars need separate economics.

Once upon a time it was normal to adjust the location of the desk to the person working there. If lefthander, place table towards the left wall with light coming from window on the right. If righthander, place to the right of window. The typewriter was placed on a small table in front of the window.

When the computer showed up, it was first placed in the corner toward the window or in front of the window but the later location proved hard on the eyes so we stopped with that.

What has changed now that we stopped with this practice? I thougt we would have the office layout perfected by now?

The key point of the marginal revolution is it isn't the aggregate contribution that matters, but the marginal.

That's bad. The US has never criminalized a political position before. Even at the height of of anti-Communism in the 1950s, there was a Communist Party of the USA, and its leader, Gus Hall, wasn't in prison. He lived until 2000, outliving the USSR, and died at age 90, in the US.

Support for Israel is getting weird. AIPAC is no longer the biggest supporter of Israel in the US. Christians United for Israel, which is an operation of John Hagee, the evangelical preacher, is. They have around 3 million members. (The US has only around 4 million Jews, many of whom don't support AIPAC.)

There's a theological basis for Christian support of Israel.[1] It's kind of strange, but some people take it seriously.

No the most you can say is it's anti-Israel.

Imputing racist motives on those holding those views cannot be justified based purely on those actions.

The reality is you're projecting your own political views on the motives of others, in such a way that it leaves Israel immune from any and all criticism. It's anti-intellectual and frankly dangerous.
I think what's beautiful is that it shows the endless fractal self similarity of our reality in general. You see it absolutely everywhere in everything.

> "What do they call extremism in other areas with deep socioeconomic problems? Non-islamic extremism?"

Well, when members of another ideology also start stabbing people in our streets and running down trucks into the middle of gatherings in order to kill as much civilians as possible, and when they start exploding themselves amongst our children or putting bombs in our metro stations, I'm absolutely sure we will find a name for them.

So far, thankfully, we really didn't had the need for that.
