Maybe it is true for him. This isn't my area, but the Wikipedia article for the RAD5500 says it's for "high radiation environments experienced on board satellites and spacecraft," but the grandparent only a need for tolerance to "modest radiation exposure (avionics)." Maybe the RAD5500 is overkill for his application, and there actually hasn't been anything new (in his niche) for 10 years.

Woah. Tens of thousands? I would think a few thousand at most. There must be more to this story than I'm currently aware of. (This is the first I've ever heard of it.)
You know what would be an interesting consumer product? A $100 black box you can plug into your home network that runs email, media, and social, applications with no hassle. Knock out dependencies on a dozen third party services in one fell swoop.

EDIT: to clarify, I believe consumer hardware has progressed enough to provide an elegant solution to a slew of simple cloud services which people pay monthly for, i.e. storage. The markup on simple software that is hosted in the cloud is just too high. Now convincing investors to touch a hardware start-up with a 10ft pole...
Why punish companies for being successful enough to create attractive, high-paying jobs? The consequences of doing that won't be very good for anyone. A slower economy will hurt the low-income workers a bit more than the high-income workers.

What we need is a solution that encourages and accommodates success, not one that punishes it.

>any record, document, or tangible object

Many of us here are programmers, so we might be mislead by 'record' or 'document', but this is not talking about software configuration, but tangible objects. Faking bank statements, shredding accounting records, and the like.

For similar reasons to the situation where you can't be compelled to give up a password (a record in the IT sense, but not in this sense), I think it'd be a very hard sell to classify this in this sense.

Obligatory: IANAL.
I'm not a lawyer and I don't know much about contempt works. Indefinite detention sounds bad but I don't know how else it would be handled or if this is actually that unusual of a case besides the cryptographic aspect.

The reason is actually answered in the paper ;) There have been many studies looking at introducing peanut allergens in small increasing doses over time. this does somewhat work but the effects ware off pretty quickly after stopping. The 'secret sauce' in this study is the use of the specific bacteria which somehow teaches the body to retain the non-immune response.
Nope never. The app will ask for contacts permission so that we don't accidentally block someone in your contacts. Thats done entirely on the client side. Your contacts never leave the app.
Yeah, I have a Moto G4 Standard and it sure everything I want. I don't even worry about a case or screen protector because at this price point of it breaks I can easily and cheaply get a new one. I just hope in future versions they add USB-C. It'd be nice to have one charger for all my devices (laptop, phone, etc).
The entire article is pretty interesting, but here's the punchline:

> So each mile you live from work steals $795 per year from you in commuting costs.

> $795 per year will pay the interest on $15,900 of house borrowed at a 5% interest rate.
> By contrast, the large and well-funded groups today who call for genocide of Jews, and are doing their best to put it into practice, have widespread and open support among ‘progressives’, and nobody bats an eyelid when marchers wave their flags.

I hear you WoodenChair. For this particular task, the stakes are very low (really, zero). The model agrees with our human graders, quite well. In fact, statistically speaking, the machine scoring is actually tightly correlated to the highest inter-rater reliability that we could achieve, among our human graders. You would be surprised.
> The housing and infrastructure problems in the SFBA are purely political, and self-inflicted.

That's true, but the implication that these decisions are inarguably stupid ("self-inflicted") is unfair. It's a conscious and IMHO defensible choice by the people who already live here: we would prefer to deal with the problems caused by insufficient housing than by the problems caused by overly dense population.
Minor note, because my thoughts were along similar lines - she was evicted from her $1600/month apt, and presumably would pay significantly more for it now.

It's basically impossible to get a job in Zurich though. In San Fransisco, a coding bootcamp grad can get 140K out the door. This is how capitalism works. We take the bad with the good. Politics reflect the will of the people and the people in San Fransisco on both sides of the aisle want to make as much money as they can, any way they can.
In my memory, by 1995 in high school computers were still a weird nerd subculture thing. There were a few non-nerds who had discovered PC games like DOOM, and that created interesting socialization opportunities for nerds.

No girls though. Just the few you met out in the BBS scene.

These sorts of arguments are easy to refute. Motivated reasoning is impossible to prove in either direction.

Of 24 children treated, apparently 20 of them were successfully treated.

The control group only saw one person's allergy diminish during the initial treatment period.

I'll freely admit I don't have a background in statistics or clinical trial design, but it seems to me with that significant of an effect you can be fairly confident in the results even at that trial size.

If we were talking 8% to 4% in 24-person groups, sure, one extra person having a positive result could be random chance. We're talking 82% to 4%. It seems pretty unlikely that 19 people all randomly has a positive result unrelated to the treatment.

How big do you think these trial groups need to be to confirm the effect of the treatment, if this isn't good enough?
Yeah, union organizers and war protesters in the early 1900s were jailed with similar excuses. Would you like to go to jail in 20 years for speaking out against the war in Iraq? Because when you start limiting speech, it's /usually/ not the right wing that suffers...
That makes sense. But the paper seems to claim that the guaiacol comes from the smoked malted barley:

> Many whiskies, especially those that are made on the Scottish island of Isley, have a typical smoky taste that develops when malted barley is smoked on peat fire. Chemically, the smoky flavour is attributed to phenols, and in particular guaiacol, which is much more common in Scottish whiskies than in American or Irish ones.

+1 for Mulholland Drive. I used to love these movies that attempted to be mind-bending, and seeing that film made me realize that I mostly loved their wish-fulfillment/power fantasy elements.

I think Mulholland Drive was such an effective foil for power fantasies because it started in a dream state then revealed the depressing and pedestrian triggers for that state. I saw it late in graduate school and the sense of failure permeating Naomi Watts' character in the second half hit very close to home. I don't know if it would have worked if the frame for the movie had not been so mundane (in contrast to something like Inception, which relies so heavily on a black box dream-infiltration device).
This is a major major part of problem and one of the simpler legislative solutions. The extreme example is Cupertino and Palo Alto which have approved 10000s of office desks but resist building any meaningful housing whatsoever. Peninsula towns also need incentives/mandates to upzone around Caltrain. SF also does a huge desks to beds imbalance in approvals.
The thing stopping San Francisco from increasing density is democracy. The people of San Francisco do not want more density. They don't want more traffic and traffic fumes. They don't want more vehicles fighting over limited public spots. They don't want buses. They don't want throngs of young people who often don't share their liberal values wandering around the city at all hours of the night. They don't want huge apartment complexes or luxury residential towers. They don't want to be Manhattan or Paris or even Boston.

The people of San Francisco think the city is mostly perfect just the way it is. This is why all proposals to radically increase density (by lifting height restrictions, say) always get democratically voted down.

If people are really serious about increasing the density in San Francisco (or anywhere in California, for that matter) the first step, ironically enough, would be to get rid of the people who actually live there.

It has nothing to do with 'laziness'. You ignored the entire 'The Business Case' section of the article.
Makes me appreciate what I have in Rochester. 5 minute commute if I don't hit the lights correctly. Drive home for lunch in silence, take a nap. Cost of living where I have more money than I know what to do with. The grind a lot of you put up with chasing money, is paid for with your life, literally.
The thought experiment usually goes that the world's population could all fit into the state of Texas, at New York City density.

That always ignores the space required for agriculture, roads and transportation, waste management, power, manufacturing, and of course the natural resources that modern society depends on.

Also, I'd risk arrest or worse just to get out of that area and get some damn peace and quiet. I just spent a week in Chicago. It was fantastic. I'm really glad I'm not still there.

(And no, we shouldn't de-colonize Earth, we should get better at living in it.)
> They don't achieve this by optimizing what's there, they do it by building an enormously complex system for no reason :)

This aspect of the industry drives me absolutely insane. I've seen this at every single company I've worked at. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Am I the only developer that sees tech as merely a tool? I don't want to build a massively complex system that scales to infinity and does everything for everyone. I don't want to build everything from scratch. I want to build dead simple, boring software that accomplishes a goal and is easy to maintain, so that I can go home and not worry about it.
Interesting. I'm extremely sensitive to urushiol but mango skin doesn't affect me.
Good point DamVigilante. We trained the model using hundreds of human-scored essays. They were all double or triple scored, to validate IRR. I think that's why the model is performing so well. But, there is always room for improvement! :-)

It's not about either. He is illustrating a problem that only occurs in functional programming:

There is no concept of time in pure functions.

In imperative programming when two actors approach the same spot, whether the application is parallel or not, one actor ALWAYS arrives first and the other will arrive subsequently. Therefore the Second actor can read the state of the first and act accordingly...

This is not the case for functional programming. Per frame the state of each actor changes (or in other words: new actors with updated states are created) at the same time and thus you can have two actors approach the same spot at the same time. You will then need an extra step for conflict resolution. Of course there's a bunch of ways to deal with this. Carmack briefly mentioned something about using some other attribute of the actor as a priority number... it's not like this is some crazy issue that's impossible to solve.
I'm not saying we should shoot for Mars, just that until we reach the point of being able to do round-trips and step up the solutions, it sounds like an awful idea to go there. The VR is just a personal wish that I think would be great for not just Mars but all space exploration. I know that I'll never get a chance to visit the moon. But before we're able to engineer a roundtrip I could purchase, I know we'd be able to engineer a rig that could transmit a VR experience that we could all enjoy.

Floppy drives weren't that uncommon. Or even those horrible audio cassette tape systems. It depends a bit on the era I guess. If you're talking mid 70s Altair type computers then compiling a program practically required access to someone with an EE degree. By the late 70s though you're looking at stuff like the Apple II and the Commodore 64 which were usually sold with some sort of mass storage option.

Only knowing BASIC wasn't nearly the handicap it would become either. Most people were in the same boat.

As for the price, that's true of everything computer related in the 80s. If you were buying a computer in the first place you were more likely to be able to scrounge together a couple hundred more bucks for the disk drive and printer.
My dangerous advice (relative badness depends on jurisdiction): scan them, host them, and wait to see if anyone tells you to stop.

I don't know if it matters, but I have no advertising on my site. The books and everything else are just hosted for the enjoyment of people who share my interests.

It's also kinda funny that the author calls out Damore for motivated reasoning and then...goes on to write paragraph after paragraph of motivated reasoning.

It's basically impossible to discuss this subject without it being motivated reasoning. It's a profession in which it is notoriously difficult to measure aptitude and productivity. And it's a field of study that's a landmine for researchers to study for exactly the same reason as the fact that every single Damore-related thread here blows up into an uncivilized moderation war filled with name calling and insults.

We're still at a point where the science isn't pointing one way or the other and we haven't even settled on any decent metric to give to the scientists to calibrate any testing they'd be brave enough to explore. Is it any wonder that discussions on this topic are rife with confirmation bias? We're not going to approach anything resembling a productive conversation on this topic until both sides concede that the other side might have some point and that the true answer, as almost all true answers do, lies somewhere in between the polar ends of the spectrum that people argue from.
I also struggle with metaphors.

- A company who owns roads, and charges you to drive on them, wants to charge more for highly-used routes.

- A bus company is raising fees on routes with the most riders.

- Cable companies charge more for high-demand "premium" channels.

- Stores charge more for items that are higher in demand.

- Electric utilities charge surge prices during high demand times. So do some ride share taxis.

- Network companies charge more for high-demand connections? Preposterous!

It's rare that businesses will "commute" a fee, like happened for"commuters" in the last century.
I should have given you some background, I used to be foreman on a tree service, I own 5 Stihl chainsaws currently (ms192, ms200t, ms261, ms362, ms660), I know what the brake does. I'm rural, 15 acres, I use all the saws regularly.

That's not the stop I was talking about, I was talking about the same sort of stop as the sawstop has. Sorry if I was unclear.
>Ms. James pays $1,000 a month in rent for her three-bedroom house, compared with $1,600 for the one-bedroom apartment she had in Alameda.

She was forced out of her original apartment but unless she had a new situation that required her to have more bedrooms with a lower budget, some part of this extremity was her choice. I think NYT should've chosen a better example if the point they were trying to get across is "tech boom forcing workers out".
San Francisco is surrounded by cities which are not San Francisco. Manhattan is part of New York City, and is surrounded by more of New York City.

If someone lived 80 miles away from Zurich, in a German town such as Sankt Märgen, Google is telling me that it would take 2h 51m [1]. This tells me that if the woman in the Article made that same distance commute in German/Switzerland with, say, 30 minutes of slack, she would have to leave her house at 3:40am to arrive at work at 7am.

Let me now quote the article:
