> why otherwise rational people do this.

Because rational people aren't really rational, they're just slightly more rational that other people in certain aspects. It's really hard to actually see what biases are in your assumptions, and you have to assume quite a lot to get through every day.

> Are we just too absorbed in our craft to see the forest for the trees, and we mis-prioritize as a result?

It's easy to assume the thing you know how to fix has a big impact on success, because the alternative is often scary unless you've cultivated the correct mindset. Even after you've cultivated that mindset, it's easy to not realize you apply it to some portions of your life and not others, or even some problems and not others in the same area.

Probably because Defcon pays them a pretty penny to host it there. I'm pretty sure the old tactic of subsidizing events to get people there hoping they will gamble has been done away with. The $5 buffets and $20 Cirqu Du Solei' shows of the 80/90's have been replaced with $20-$40 buffets and $100 Cirque Du Soleil shows.
Dad Diaries: What It Means to Be a Dad – The Blogging Musician
I agree, there are issues with NB such as the ones you brought up. I don't think document length is the real offender here though. This really boils down to noise and how well you filter and devalue it. Stacking more filters like stemming, stopwords, and high frequency features definitely helps in this case to the point where longer documents can actually improve accuracy. Additionally, tuning your ngram lengths or using variable lengths, choosing between word or character ngrams, and limiting your distribution size all will help depending on what you're trying to categorize.

This has been going around, but even this plan to build 4400 dwellings is still total nonsense, because the plan also includes office space for 15000 people. 15000 jobs requires much more than 4400 dwellings, so this plan will just make things worse.

India Offers the Highest ROI on FinTech Projects: 29% vs. The Global Avg. Of 20%
Uh, I, . . .. What?
Not so. As more agents learn that competing against RedFin agents is more difficult than it should be, they'll join in with RedFin. As more people learn that RedFin-style home buying works for them, they'll make RedFin a key part of their next home buying experience. I know I have, twice already.

The down-stream network effects of this are likely more significant and harder to predict, as real estate is way slower than hailing a taxi. Think desegregation.
Yeah absolutely. Without an explanation of what the units are it's worse than useless. "Here's a diagram of an arbitrary metric I invented. Scary, isn't it?"

You got me wondering and apparently the average max temperature in SD in August 2015 was 81.

Here, it was 83 degrees at 11 last night and it's been a relatively cool summer. But wait, there's nothing like a humid 98 degree day in the middle of August. SD doesn't sound too bad.

The fact that human beings lived in places like Houston before the advent of air conditioner suggests that new normal will get adapted to pretty quickly. How did they do that?
> Contexts ... not so much imo

I'll prefix my comment by saying I'm someone who is more on the sysadmin side of the scale of things. My code isn't pretty, but it generally works well enough to get the job done. I'm learning (probably the most important thing, I guess).

Contexts are one of things that I felt the same about. Until I tried really using them, rather than stressing over whether or not I was using them properly.

I made the mistake of trying to think of them as microservices, which bogged me down and for my purposes was complete overkill. I've now reached a kind of happy medium, which I've realised that I really should have already been using. I've kinda realised I suck at api design. And for that I'm very thankful to the phoenix team, because it feels like I'm learning.

This article is an example of why I find it difficult to intellectually buy into the warming climate theory. It would seem if one is trying to convince the public of "global warming" or "climate change" or whatever the current term is, that scientists would at least publish articles that lay-scientists like myself could read and be convinced. But that's not what we have here, no what we have here is a hyped-up oh my its getting hot article...

First off, your observation of the ridiculous x-axis labels. Really, "Extremely Hot" Is that supposed to scare me or something?

Second, what does this mean...

"...compared actual summer temperatures for each decade since the 1980s to a fixed baseline average." Did you sample at the same location each summer? Did you sample at the same point in the summer? Did you account for any changes in winter/spring/fall temperatures?

And finally...did they happen to point out the time periods are not all of the same length?
Can someone tell me what will happen if I have my BTC sitting in a private, non exchange wallet like Electrum at the time of fork? It seems the process is I create a new BTC wallet, transfer my BTC to the new wallet, and then use the old wallet/seed to create a BCH wallet? That will magically give me the "new" BCH coins associated with my BTC?
I wouldn't worry so much about the swap causing wear. You can look up your SSD's expected lifetime, but recent controllers are very good at wear leveling and you probably won't even get close to wearing it out. Anyways you're probably not going to do a ton of swapping. Even with python ;)

Definitely use TRIM. It will probably be enabled by default anyway.

Subsidize toys for the rich ? With a good story about why it's saving the planet ?

This is like claiming parks in big cities are good for the environment. Well they are. For about 2 blocks or so. And especially good for the house values around there. Which is of course the real reason they're built.

You're acting as if the purpose of environmental policy is to rescue the planet, and there's your mistake. Giving free money to rich people with lots of influence is the only factor in those decisions.

If you check, you'll find that all of Elon Musk's companies after paypal share this characteristic. They are barely working at all, and there's no way in hell they'd work without this free money. So really, this is about transfering your taxes to Elon Musk's company so mostly him, and of course quite a few rich people can get free money and tell a story to themselves about the environment.

Yeah, this is something which - if sufficiently well done - you use to destroy a politician through leaks of the faked horror video to their colleagues and the mainstream press.

For good old "fake news" it just needs a certain demographic to want it to be right; it doesn't really matter if any video ever existed or not or if the claims are trivially falsifiable or something already well established to not be true. We live in a world where despite the results of the US election being extraordinarily well publicised, a full 49% of surveyed Trump voters say they believe he won the most votes from the general population and nearly a quarter of Democrats insist Hillary won the Electoral College (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/26/trump-clinton-popul...)

There's this at the end:

> Temperature categories are determined by the normal distribution, so that a third of temperatures fall in each of the main three categories: hot, cold and normal for 1951 to 1980. Summer temperatures for each subsequent 11-year period are compared to the 1951 to 1980 baseline.

It's not so stupid. It essentially drives home the point that a day that in the 1951-1980 period would be considered "hot", today would fall inside the "normal" range.

That is, your normal distribution of temperatures has shifted a bit to the right.

Roomba having a map of my floors is no different than a policy that leads to gay kids in Russia being thrown in jail. Things aren't binary. We can deal with them in nuance. Equating these two together weakens your argument against both of them.

yourapostasy's post elsewhere in the thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14876581 ) is worth considering before dismissing these concerns as "hyperbole."

Right, and that's a challenge with privacy in general, whether or not there's a contract (and whether or not that's scoped to apply to future owners of the company).

Right now, the legal system does not always afford breaches and violations of privacy the level of gravitas that they deserve.
I think to the planners who make these decisions, helping people is simply a positive externality.
To address several questions of why there are no "actual units in the x-axis":

If I understand correctly how this graph and the categories are constructed, the plotted data do not have associated temperature units. The temperature data from each location is first normalized and expressed in terms of standard deviations relative to the local temperature distribution in the baseline period. These normalized readings are then binned together to create the bell curve plots.

That's why there are no "extremely hot" data points in the baseline period: by definition these data points lie outside the local baseline distributions.

UPDATE: This approach makes sense: different locales will have different temperature distributions; that means that a single measurement (presented as a deviation from the mean temperature expressed in absolute units: e.g. 7 degree F higher than average) can be extremely anomalous in one locale, but can be within 1 standard deviation in another. But once these measurements are expressed in standard deviations, the absolute temperature units disappear.

Then quite simply you haven't been listening or paying attention. I'm a gnu/gpl proponent, so I come into the systemd debate leaning towards the side that is simply requesting (why should they even have to? They don't!) init diversity. I've heard plenty of reasoned debate between both sides though, and things like "why people continually try to remove" have been layed out time and time again.

So after showing you aren't even aware of the current debates which are still ongoing, you try to criticize their points as being "too hung up on sticking to the UNIX philosophy"? That's not a good description of the antisystemd sides arguments, because the positions I have seen taken are more varied than that. Essentially that was just a strawman you took out of your hat because its one that sounds good.

Oh and if it's worth anything, as a sysadmin who has to support all the distro's, systemd has not been a panacea as touted by any stretch of the imagination. For example, logging. Why is that now a systemd thing? Just cause systemd is the creepy uncle that likes to touch everything it can? So I'm just gonna pipe that crap into syslog anyway... and don't get me started on LP's shenanigans.

I fully support devuan and all others in their pursuit of init freedom, because the user deserves to have choice. I hope fully gplv3'd init wins (systemd being agplv2 I think).
I bet if there are any useful undocumented instructions you'll start seeing (not very serious) compiler modifications to support them at your own risk.
> Rehearse

I can't emphasize this enough. I was tasked to give a speech/presentation on new features to the company's annual user's group/conference many years ago. Features I wrote. I figured it would be easy because I feel comfortable in front of large groups and hell, I wrote the damn features. When the COO forced us to do a run-through the day before, it was terrible. My mind just had too many things going through it. I knew too much about the topic and needed to narrow it down beforehand. I tend to ramble. I spent all night rehearsing and it went really well.

Another time, earlier in my career, I gave a presentation of a website I wrote based on Oracle stuff to an Oracle user's group. Absolutely no rehearsal. I slugged down a couple of beers beforehand and it went really well. This is probably what lead me to believe the previous example didn't require rehearsing. This was more of a hype presentation than a rundown of features though.

FWIW, Steve Jobs, a great presenter of our time, was a rabid rehearser.

As someone who grew up without ac in Houston, it's pretty miserable. Lots of showers + a silly number of fans helps, but not that much.

I can't know what the OP had in mind, but I don't see anything that would prevent the example to be fully asynchronous. http::repsonse could be the moral equivalent of a future or it could be running on top of a coroutine.
Once Facebook has data, it ends up in their database backups and potentially in their logs, and also potentially in CDN caches, so even if they deleted it from their production database it wouldn't really be gone.

This is one of those cases where it is impossible to prove a negative -- one can never prove that the data you gave to Facebook doesn't still exist somewhere, even if they look for it everywhere they can think of. Similarly, the company you entered into arbitration with might have made a good-faith effort to delete your data, but they might not have fully succeeded.

Therefore, one must assume that any data given to any company might somehow survive even if the company attempts to delete it.
I think it's an auto-antonym, i.e. divide opcodes into three sets:

1. Documented
2. Undocumented and throws #UD
3. Undocumented but does not throw #UD

Some people will use "Illegal instruction" to refer exclusively to (2), some as exclusively to (3), and some as both (2) and (3).

Edit: Interesting to see https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/sandsifter/tree/dff63246#fla... for how the author of Sandsifter describes the --ill option:

> --ill - the inverse of --unk, search for invalid disassemblies (instructions that do not successfully execute but that the disassembler acknowledges)

If we assume "disassembler acknowledges" is approximately equivalent to "documented", then --ill is actually looking for a subset of (1): "Documented but throws #UD"...which also seems fairly natural, at least in this context.
