I, for one, think the hydrogen instead of EV gamble will pay off big time. Especially in Japan where they just can't produce enough electricity to go full EV, what with shutting down most of their nuclear plants. H2 is a much more realistic zero emission energy carrier for them.

Also, as electricity demand and price goes up, and gas demand and price goes down, oil companies will quickly pivot to producing H2 by steam methane reforming with carbon capture and storage, to continue the returns on their billions of dollars of investments.
Very interesting that you should mention "Innovator's Delimma". I remember when Andy Grove made that required reading for all of executive staff, and divisions had to incorporate the thought process in their plans.

You are right that this is showing classic signs of not giving innovative business units enough runway to find their product-market fit. That's really hard to do given Intel's culture.

Craig Barrett did a lot of damage. One Intel mid-level manager described him as a pinata. "Who ever hits him the hardest gets the most candy." So managers reported synthetic disasters in order to get more funding. Paul Otellini was great, I have huge respect for him, but his tenure was too short lived. Otellini understood how to build a market.
The problem with performance enhancing drugs isn't their use per se, it's the fact that competition at a high level more or less forces you to use any and all means at your disposal to win, and this forces would-be winners to consume large, unhealthy, long-term unstable and harmful amounts of drugs.

People who manage sports associations are comfortable with people sacrificing time and fortune for their passion, but they are not (in general) comfortable with creating an environment in which people must sacrifice their health and well-being to compete.

PEDs in some form should probably be (and in fact are, in most states) legal for personal use, but I believe that anything with the potential to cause long term bodily harm when abused should be banned in organized competition by the organizers (not some state, unless it's a publicly funded athletic organization). I further believe that unless demonstrated to be safe, most medications should be assumed to be damaging, within reason. There should be a long, slow, tedious path to approval.

That's the world view that, to me, does the best job of creating a healthy environment for athletic competition.
I think nobody wants to ignore the second part.

However I don't agree with the good intention, bad intention part. In truth we all want to make the world better and we all want to gain from it. While there are few really predatory offers, many are just basic human selfishness+ignorance. It's the difference between taking someone's purse and finding that the cashier gave you too much change. The second part is not really evil, but it's very likely to happen. So you better count twice before handing out your money.
A whole intersection? Yeah right. More like one letter on a stop sign.
I felt the same about iTerm until I started using it, and still feel the same about Alfred (have it installed but reverted to using Spotlight instead).

iTerm's great for the features it has that the regular terminal doesn't. Fullscreen borderless, universal hotkey to reveal, more configurations for workspaces, and I much prefer the paneling/tabs setup with iTerm too.

I assume the same argument is used for why Alfred is good, but I've never really gotten into it. Anyone mind trying to sell me?

I hiked up a modest mountain to watch the eclipse and found myself winded after about 1 hour of light (~10-15 degree incline) and my feet were like trudging through molasses for the remaining 4 hours of climb (45+-ish degree incline)... I'm not in terrible shape (I can do 11 pull ups, and maybe about an hour of medium cardio without discomfort at sea level). I wonder if meldonium could be used to combat altitude sickness.
"Regulating it" means creating new rules. Which would, once again be broken if athletes thought it would help their performance. And you'd end up at square 1, except everybody who was previously clean was now forced to take all the drugs the new rules permitted.

And there's nothing really arbitrary about the rules, or at least no more arbitrary than almost any other rule you can find. Just because you can argue about the exact requirements to become a lawyer in Iowa doesn't mean that my hamster is as good a lawyer as the top graduate of Harvard Law.
Interesting article, even if it is a bit silly to say you would use testosterone but not steroids.

Your inverse isn't correct. The correct inverse would be to look at the countries that do have tax.

Let's look at Guinea

There's the tax information:

http://www.doingbusiness.org/data/exploreeconomies/guinea/pa...

Oh by the way it's the poorest country in the world 2017.

I did take a look at what jacquesm suggested and here is a list of countries that have no income tax.

* United Arab Emirates

* Oman

* Bahrain

* Qatar

* Saudi Arabia

* Kuwait

* Bermuda

* Cayman Islands

* The Bahamas

* Brunei

Now you could argue that the countries are rich countries and the only ones doing well are the native citizens or that two of them are tax havens for the rich. But hey that's not what he said.

And the moral of the story? Unquantified generic statements are usually bad. Don't do it. No matter who you are, don't do it.

When I first heard about this drug (from the Sharapova incident) and looked it up, it sounded like a miracle drug for Rock Climbers, which I am. I have family in Russia as well, where you can buy it over the counter, but I haven't had the courage to try it out yet.

This article really makes me want to give it a shot, just for curiosity sake. My main limit on wall climbs isn't technique or strength, it's getting pumped out. Training endurance has been incredibly hard for me. Even when I was younger and played soccer, I was getting winded way before anyone else, even though I was just as active. I've always felt like I have some kind of oxygen weakness, compared to other people.

Well, if you don't care, why do you bother to profess an opinion? There are plenty who do care about the well-being of athletes.

I am skeptical, however, that doping will ever get under control unless the pressure behind the doping relents. The rewards in elite sports are perhaps too great. By the time athletes reach their prime mentally, the body is no longer at its peak, and they're desperately trying to compensate to finally reap the rewards of a career of brutal training.
Nonsense snake oil.

Interesting indeed. It is therefore more likely that I should have asked "How does Amazon know who I am on Facebook?". I suspected this could be the directionality (weak attempt 'vice versa'). Thanks for the special insight!
Oh I don't think the author cheated, at all. My takeaway from the article was that he felt good on moldonium, and played in a(n?) USTA tournament where it isn't banned.

Well, "legal" and "allowed in the sport" are two different concepts.

Anabolic steroids are legal in many countries, like Mexico and Poland. It's just the US that criminalizes them, and probably has influenced the decision to ban them outright.

Regulation is another thing. I'd actually say they are regulated, in that the current rule is "don't take them". And even enforcing that relatively simple rule - just detect them, is actually a hard problem we can't solve very well, given the amount of athletes that lost medals over the last couple of olympics.

In the end, PED regulation is just another set of rules added to each sport. These are professional athletes, and most manage to not run into any problems understanding and following the rules. Adding some kind of "permitted level of use" is theoretically possible, but I suspect you'll just end up spending a lot more money trying to detect how much anyone is using at a particular period of time, etc. etc. Add stupid political pressure from the US federal government, and I'd imagine any kind of "lenient system" would just be far, far more expensive to execute.
I'm surprised about the zsh mention. It seems to run under Cygwin mostly, right? I guess under MSYS2, as well. But there is nothing that mentions this specialty.
Very well said ..

> Almost every corner of an ML problem has an optimization problem that needs to be solved: There is a function that you want to minimize subject to constraints. Typically these are everywhere smooth, or sometimes almost everywhere smooth. So calculus shows up in (i) algorithms to find the bottom of these functions (if they exist) or (ii) deriving the location of the minima in closed form. These functions would be "how close am I to the correct parameter", "What losses would these settings rake up on average" etc etc.

> The reason why this differs from a purely optimization / mathematical programming problem is that we can only approximately evaluate the actual function (the performance of our model on new / unseen data) that we care to optimize. Great optimization algorithms need not be (and often are not) good ML algorithms. In ML we have to optimize a function that's getting revealed to us slowly, one datapoint at a time. The true function typically involves a continuum of datapoints. This is where we can bring probability into the picture

These aren't controlled experiments so how could they possibly rule out selection bias affecting the coffee drinking cohort?

Maybe healthier people can handle high coffee consumption better for example, and maybe they are more likely to be in sociable and professional settings, both of which are associated with better health.
Ah, it definitely is that option, in both uBO and Privacy Badger. The latter doesn't actually seem to stop the demo working, though. I vaguely remember reading something in uBO's documentation about only one extension (the first one to ask for it) getting access to some filtering feature, although I can't find the page now.
The interesting distinction isn't between life-dependent and non-life-dependent, it's between worse-than-human and better-than-human.

It doesn't "challenge the concept of heat," but it does make pretty ridiculous a line on one side of which is "hot" and on another side of which is "cold" and "cold" is bad and wrong and immoral and "hot" is awesome.

(And "pathology" has all the same bright-line-distinction problems that performance-enhancing-substances do, so your proposal to clear up the problem actually makes things even less clear.)
I thought Tit-for-tat was the strategy that always repeated opponents last move. "Tit-for that with forgiveness" was the strategy that would occasionally cooperate even after an opponents defection.
In fact all of this is less work for the very wealthy than you might think. Do you remember John McCain being asked in 2008 how many houses he owned and not knowing the answer? I know people like that.

In fact I know a woman who travels around the world, owns multiple properties in multiple US states, and also manages to keep up official Canadian residency. I've been to three of her houses in the Los Angeles area, but I'd bet that she isn't considered a resident of California for tax purposes.

No, you don't need to "unestablish" residence in your prior state. If I move from Virginia to Maryland on January 1, and I really intend to stay in Maryland, I'm a Maryland resident, and only a Maryland resident, starting January 1.

Multiple residency is a thing, but it has to be based on actual presence in the other state. California isn't asserting that after moving to Nevada, Hyatt then spent more than 183 days in California over the next year.
The stigma steroids have gotten because of MLB and a few other notable famous athletes is really unfortunate. Low doses of testosterone in men shows great health benefits especially for men >40. HGH and other growth hormones like IGF-1 have also shown great general health benefits. Steroids are schedule 2 drugs on the same level as opioids so just about everyone who is taking them (besides wealthy people who can afford to go to anti-aging clinic where you can be prescribed for this) is doing so low key which makes awareness and education very difficult.

Great questions

-The first line of defense against interstitial fluid is wiping away the first drop (commonly used protocol in most drop test). The inevitable remaining interstitial fluid chunk is then classified out by our image processing models, which have been trained to recognize differences in images based on debris/cell concentration.

-We currently report the WBC, WBC Differential, Platelets, and RBC indices. The flags we're missing are secondary RBC metrics like MCH and RDW estimates but we have plans to roll these out soon as well.

-Yes, we've run both bench and clinical testing on patients with north of 100k white blood cells - the image processing can segment out cell chunks in these crowded samples better than traditional flow cytometry. Not in the currently published studies, but some good data coming out about this soon.

-We've run basic initial tests on platelet clumping (artificially induced in certain diluted samples), and present in clinical samples. Since our model looks at the boundaries of these platelet cells, we have a lot less trouble with this than flow cytometry/beckman and even human pathologists. Still, we're working to find more samples with clumping to define the limits of detection on this front.

-We've done interference studies with Hemolysis, EDTA, not with lipemia and icetrus. These are on our list of clinical samples to source as well.

-We've begun working with some of these EMR providers, the good thing is many of them have sandboxes to get setup in relatively quickly. The larger ones do have long, long-term engagement timelines.

-We work with dozens of pathologists to help review results, train the system further, and in general go over good morphology practice. Has definitely been a core part of our strategy.
Sports like football and hockey would be even more dangerous if "everyone" was able to use PED's. You're just going to raise the physicality that much more.
Tmux isn't vi/vim, though. Part of the Plan 9 perspective is realizing that the terminal emulator as we know it today is a hack and should be discounted. This is an example of it, using Tmux to try to stuff functionality that shouldn't be/isn't in the emulator or program in the emulator into the emulator.

Fascinating article. I've always wondered about the proportionality of increase with drugs like this, and he makes it sound quite a bit more dramatic than I imagined.

I pretty frequently place in the top 5% in amateur mid-distance running, like 10k or half marathon. Sounds like if I was on the juice I could easily be in the running for podium finishes.

Not that I would, but, geez.
Those are individual prices, but yeah honestly they are pretty high. For a business, it's $30/month/app/license. For a company with one graphic designer using Photoshop+Illustrator, that's $60/month (or $70 to get all the apps). That's already $720+ every year. With 9 million paid subscribers [1] that would be at least $90 million / year, assuming that everyone was on the minimum plan and only had a single license. If they gave every developer a $200k salary, that would be equal to 450 developers. Looking at the statistics about creative cloud revenue [2] it seems like they're earning in excess of $3 billion every year, so splitting that up among the same salaries would be more like 15k developers working on the products (no matter how complex their software is, 15,000 developers seems like a massive stretch for relatively minor updates to their existing platforms). Obviously they have other operating costs and they need some net income, but in my opinion it really should not require such excessive pricing, especially when their software is made to stop working as soon as you stop paying. (I actually looked it up and saw that they do indeed have ~15,000 employees (hopefully most aren't developers), but it's honestly insane to think that they need that many people to work on incremental updates to well-established programs that already do 99% of what's expected of them).

I'm sure there are exceptions but the general case is the emergency vehicles are planning for other traffic to not yield until it is clear the other traffic is yielding.

Yes, if the driver is well trained. When I was firefighting and instructing drivers, we always emphasized that while the red light and siren gave you the right of way:

a. they don't absolve you of liability for a crash (at least under NC law)

and

b. if you get in a crash on the way to the scene, you're not doing anybody any good, PLUS you've now created another incident requiring another emergency response, PLUS another company (probably coming from further away) has to respond to the original call.

I can't speak for police, but firefighters are actually, in my experience, taught to be pretty conservative when it comes to running red lights, proceeding against traffic on one way streets, and other similar scenarios.

We also always used to emphasize "it does no good to get halfway there, real fast".
