I think steemit is really interesting because posts are actually stored in the blockchain and all their payments are done using the Steem currency. I write about Ethereum but my backend is pretty standard: postgres with credit cards and bank accounts. I prefer direct payments because I think it's a stronger signal but I think they're cool and I wish them the best of luck. Maybe I'll buy some Steem.
The US does recognize medical degrees from other countries and leans on foreign doctors heavily.

We require them to go through a US residency.

Something like 1/4 of doctors in the US are foreign born.

I agree that the Vietnam war exposition was very odd and out of place for a technical article. Gavin King (creator of hibernate/nhibernate) has always said ORM's are just a tool in a box and encouraged people to use what's appropriate[1]. I often see project teams adopting an ORM and attempting to shoehorn all database access into the ORM framework they've adopted. Needless to say, these teams grow to hate their ORM, with good reason.

The way this manifests in applications is often times a frontend client making several calls to the ORM backend for lists of objects, then mixing, matching, swizzling the data to what needs to be displayed to the user when a single call to a well crafted query would save bandwidth, improve application responsiveness, and be easier to debug and maintain.

It is relatively easy to draw a clear line between using ORMs for domain model persistence (complex, stateful CRUD) and SQL for relational model interaction (complex, stateless querying). It really comes down to: don't use ORMs for querying and don't use SQL for complex CRUD

The issue isn't about approximating a TSP instance, but ensuring that points aren't too far apart from each other, even at the cost of increasing total length.

I can't immediately think of a reduction that would factor this in so the best thing may be to just reduce this to the appropriate ILP instance and use a mixed ILP approximator like GLPK (or Gurobi is free for students too).

Incidentally, achieving a polynomially-sized ILP formulation for TSP isn't quite obvious. Wikipedia has a good explanation of how to do this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem#In.... I'm not sure if the metric TSP has a simpler formulation.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it may be difficult to express the constraint that edges should be balanced out in a linear way. I happened to write about a similar problem a while ago (https://modalduality.org/posts/optimizing-color-coding/), I ended up giving up on finding a linear formulation and went for sequential least squares instead.
It depends- basically, the approach is to not think of OOP as the default approach, just one of the tools in the box.

When you have a algorithm that goes Red-Hot, use Data-Orientated-Programming.

When you have lots of annonymous objects repeatetly passing through recombined pipelines, with minimal work, try a functional approach.

Try to see OOP not as the final stage of a masterpiece, rather as the launch-pad - and a first working version.

Also- what is the best approach, highly depends upon the goals of the project.
Speed at all cost?
Safety trumps all?
Rapid development?
Scale-ability?

PS: Regarding Object-Relational Databases- i found the true nest of snakes to be that for each object basically a small hand crafted version of git is needed to resolve the changes, once several applications start using the same DB. Not only that, but changes made, that relate to the changed data, needs to propagate- and can not do so only by simple trigger, but often by program-logic.

Sloppy work can lead to data fragments being part of two separate objects. What if two programs use one of two classes, but one resides within the other? Who has the right of update?

In addition ORM can hold duplicates of a Datum, and very soon, the urge will appear to replace every datafragment in your saved object with a pointer (key) to one, and only one instance of the real-world data piece.

TL,DR; This is one of the cases, where the pain comes not instantly, but after a while - and then never leaves. Get somebody who witnessed something like that blow up in another company to help you avoiding the worst.

> nobody really reads that many papers

That is very true. Nowadays, a good day for me is 3. We're too busy writing papers, writing grants, writing code, answering e-mails, filling out forms, or whatever. But I work at an institute that does a lot besides aging. I don't get the impression this is specific to the aging field.

But on the other hand, the truth is that most papers do not have very much relevant information in them. There are millions of papers published per year. Aging is so interdisciplinary it would be foolish to think that if you just read J. Gerontology (now "GeroScience" lol, that was done to suck up to Felippe Sierra), Aging Cell, and a few others, you'll be caught up.

That's why I went to the data. Even IF a human could read them all, most of the interesting data nowadays is high-throughput and is analyzed in the most shallow way within the text. The real beef is deposited in GEO or SRA.

I am inclined to think that biology works in a way that is not very comprehensible to the human mind. For example, when humans design a system, it's modular, and you try to minimize the number of interdependencies between modules.

In biology, it seems almost everything affects everything else, to the point that if someone publishes a paper saying "X upregulates Y", I find it almost irrelevant; they have, assuming everything was done correctly, characterized one edge in a very highly connected network. Probably the "X upregulates Y" is contextual as well.

I don't know the solution to all this. I just wanted to do this as a career, and as a graduate student we very clearly learned that there are certain lines we need to color within if we wanted to be paid to do research.
'Abstraction' is a Dirty Word
In other words, the typical German was more likely to engage in crime than the average migrant.

Sorry, but that's complete nonsense. The crime rate among immigrants (and their descendants) is much higher than among "ethnic" Germans. That means the typical German is less likely to engage in crime.

In absolute numbers of course, there are much more Germans than immigrants, so Germans commit more crimes total, as you would expect.

This topic is sensitive, so people just fling around with percentages and relative numbers until it appears to fit whatever narrative they would like to be true. It's not really helping convince anybody, everybody just keeps believing what they already believe.

Of course, the idea that Germany is now "riddled with crime" is just another Trumpism. Considering that we have a million refugees, the increase in crime is rather low and all the alarmism isn't justified.

It won't let me buy anything from any of the vendors I've tried

It says:
"The vendor's server has rejected the purchase request. This may be due to a connection issue. Check your purchase data, such as quantity and Bitcoin refund address, to make sure it is valid. If it is valid, try again in a few seconds. Reason: vendor rejected contract". I've also gotten " Reason: unable to reach vendor"

Has anyone successfully bought anything recently?
Management needs to be honest with everyone and explain why Alice is so valuable. Maybe then they would get more of what Alice brings to the company. And they need to pay her the maximum they think they can; because everyone knows her salary she is constantly being offered more money by competitors and recruitment firms to move. This makes her yearly salary negotiation with her boss easier, not harder. YMMV.
>A child who is learning two languages will have a smaller vocabulary in each than a child who is only learning one; there are only so many hours in the day, and you’re either hearing English or Spanish,” Dr. Hoff

I'd like to see more data on this as I don't think it's necessarily true. One thing I've noticed about bilingual people is that they are more expressive... creative in the words and turns of phrases they use.

Also, I'd say people from Iceland have a larger vocabulary and greater command of the English language than the average home grown American. I remember asking a lady "Does everyone here speak English so well" She responded "Of course" with an expression of mild disgust that made me feel like a dunce

I wouldn't just blame the Fed. There are multiple feedback loops currently concentrating funds in the financial sector. The US monetary system is one of the fairly stable ones - it has a remarkably constant monetary expansion rate at around 2x/ decade (compare and contrast with Russia which is up there at 20x decade).

Correct for the monetary expansion rate, rather than CPI, and you can get a reasonable idea of how the prices of real goods are actually dropping over time, as are the majority of people's salaries, as money gets sucked into the financial sector primarily as a side effect of loan securitisation, and crony taxation policies.
I concur, but where I disagree is the sentiment "stop relying on others to tell you what to think!"

I run the main OB store, and I haven't noted problems selling. One of the difficulties of running a p2p network is that you cannot control how up to date the software is from other peers. We try to keep as much compatibility as possible when making changes, but the network has been live over a year now and never everyone stays updated.

Many of the problems we had with the current version are also alleviated with the 2.0 we are releasing soon.
You probably don't know what each of the people does; someone like Emily Maitlis who earns < £150k - her co-host who does the exact same job earns up to £299k. My guess the man here doing identical jobs earns about twice as much. There are many examples of this in the released information.
I'm actually of mixed origin (half Caucasian/Asian) (:

I was born in Taiwan, so I assume the exposure was there, at least from the staff at the clinic if not anything else. That said, my first language was English as we came to Canada immediately after my birth. English was the language at home, and while I had a few Asian classmates, all of us only spoke English, and there weren't many immigrants from Asia (mostly Taiwan/Hong Kong) at all. So despite exposure at birth, hearing Mandarin for me at the time was much like hearing someone speak Spanish or Russian now.

In fact, I had no interest in relocating to Taiwan and losing contact with my friends. I'd be lying if I said it was not hell; the school administration strongly suggested I be put in kindergarten so I could learn the language from the beginning just like the locals, but my mother insisted I be put in 5th grade, where I belonged. It was a major hit to my ego, to go from top of the class throughout my young life, to a bottom feeder. It was also a culture shock to many kids to see someone "white", so bullying was a huge part of my life there, but I digress.

Being forced into an environment like that is incredibly stressful, but I can't say it doesn't work. I'd say it took about 6 or 7 months before I was consistently not the bottom performer in class, and another year or so till I was consistently top 3.

So while there was technically some exposure, and probably some learning going on in my infant brain, none of it was apparent to me.

I think that's a really interesting point, somewhat orthogonal to language mastery itself, and probably particularly impactful in Japan.

A kid might grow up with perfect Japanese and be able to say anything, but choosing what to say can be another matter; how to make or respond to a request, how to deal with an affront, how to present yourself in a hiring interview, or a first meeting with a girlfriend's father...

I'm a white Californian guy, and my wife's Japanese. Our kids are dual-nationality and growing up bilingual, but this was a major factor in the decision to raise them primarily in Japan for the first part of their lives — so they get those things intuitively.

I myself went to university in Japan, and what I saw there convinced me this was a big deal. I was put into the "special Japanese" class, due to my wildly asymmetrical Japanese ability — I could speak Japanese an order of magnitude more effectively than I could understand it being spoken to me (reading/writing was still out of the question, as I'd only been learning for a year).

But the interesting thing about that class was that all of my classmates were Japanese, who had grown up abroad for some/many years during childhood. So I got to witness their struggles with the finer points of the language and writing kanji (which was normal, and what you'd expect) and also with the implicit rules and norms of Japanese culture and interpersonal interaction.

That latter bit was kind of mindblowing to me at the time. Since I was this white kid, nobody ever expected me to speak Japanese, or even be able to use chopsticks. (That's still largely true, incidentally, and it really seems to chafe at some long-term expats here, sometimes causing them to write epic rants about Japan...) In fact, I'd grown to understand, if I were to flawlessly execute the finer points of Japanese etiquette, it would veer into uncanny valley territory and make people uncomfortable — something like a chimpanzee putting on his own bowtie and sitting down to eat a formal meal with a knife and fork.

But through that one class, I got to peek and to see how much different it was if you were Japanese. They had to be very careful when speaking their minds, to avoid sounding insolent, rude, or unqualified.

Where I might get a reaction amounting to "oh, interesting to hear the American opinion", my Japanese buddies expressing the same thing might get "oh, you aren't really Japanese," or even essentially "fuck you, weirdo".

It was interesting for me to see their struggle, and to realize it had nothing much to do with language. Being largely exempted from it, though, it wasn't that interesting to me... until I had kids.

But hopefully they will be "bi-cultural" or whatever we call it, in addition to bilingual. (I am pretty confident that it will take a lot fewer years of practice for them to acquire "full Californian" status than it will to be perceived as "full Japanese".)
Giving advices no one asked for seems to be an intuitive solution for the problems of others. No one cares whether your idea works and the idea of others doesn't, because solving that damn problem is the only thing everybody cares about, right?

Wrong. In fact if you are right you are a smart ass making the others look like morons. If you are wrong you look like a moron. If you are right but nobody cares you may solve the problem by yourself and end up doing the work you are not paid for. People may get used to it and drink margaritas on the beach while you are fixing their bugs. Again and again. Until you burn out, jump ship and start fixing the problems of your new co-workers. Because solving that damn problem is the only thing everybody cares about, right?

What works is the "let them learn through pain" technique: Focus on your own tasks and cover your own ass. Make sure that your project works. This will help you to outperform the others who are distracted by giving unasked advices. Let the others fail. Let them learn what does not work. Let them feel the pain. If they need help they will come to you, because you are the outperformer who doesn't made them feel like a moron with his unasked advices. If this moment comes, be patient and helpful.

In this specific case I would focus on the following:

- Cover your ass. If you have to do with this given person make sure he knows what your expectations are and give him a deadline. It makes easier to track whether he delivers only 90% or not.

- Cover your ass. Deal with him like with a pawn in a chess game. What does a pawn of your opponent do? Basically nothing but annoys you blocking a field (delaying your projects). Do the same to him. Pick one of your pawns (an underperformer on your team) and put it in front of him (on the same dead-end project) and block his movements (keep him occupied and prevent him from working on mission critical code bases).

"There were more than 580,000 bombing missions on Laos from 1964 to 1973 during the Vietnam War. That's equivalent to one bombing mission every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years. Over two million tons of ordnance was dropped on the country, with up to 30 per cent failing to explode as designed."

More than 40 years after the war, one-third of the country is still contaminated by unexploded ordnance — an ongoing cost of war that affects the Lao people daily.

As a non-lawyer, I'd expect to miss something important from the legislative text.

Your point about relying on other organizations is a good one, though. I generally take this approach, but I wasn't expecting anything to have been published yet on such a new bill. It looks like the ACLU, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and SPLC all issued positive press releases, though.
no one has actually convinced me this is bad. when you save instead of spend shouldn't your stored potential increase instead of decrease? this makes sense to me and would encourage frugality and a break from the consumerism race to the bottom. If you give someone your food it would make sense to get more food the farther you have to wait instead of less food the longer you wait. Of course the current corporate system does not want this they want you to spend all you have and be a debt slave. Think.
I find this hard to believe, too.

I would also like to see the data broken down by how much kids read. I would be surprised if a kid who read 4x more books (fiction, or any kind of book) and spoke 3 languages didn't have a larger vocabulary and better expressiveness than an average-reading TV-watching monolingual kid.
